Is this anxiety?

[matt37]

I don't know when it started but whenever I have a social occasion such as a meal out or a drink with friends I have this fear of picking up a glass in case my hands shake? I worry that people will see it and it gets even worse? Once I've had alcoholic drink I start to relax and then I'm ok, what’s really strange is mentally I don’t feel anxious about my surroundings or people just the fear of someone seeing me shake which makes it all the worse.

Also I tend to feel a bit odd in the mornings, it’s difficult to explain but I just don't feel all there… I may say something I wouldn't normally say? I don't think others notice but I often find myself thinking why did I say or do that?!

I'm diagnosed with crohn's disease but to be honest I must have a relatively mild case as it doesn't effect my life too much, sometimes I do have an ever so slight tremor after exercise and this maybe the route cause of my problem, I used to get B12 jabs due to my crohn's but my doc doesn't seem to think I need them anymore though I haven’t had a blood check in over a year.

Other than that I feel reasonably fit, I have a great wife and daughter and I have no reason to feel bad about anything, in fact my outlook on life is pretty damn good... apart from some strange symptoms that occasionally pop up!

Anyone know what I'm on about or had similar experiences??

Matt,

I think first you need to have your blood tests to rule out any other reasons you are having tremors (hand shaking).

It would also be a good idea to talk to a Mental Health professional.

I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder GAD. You have a couple of symptoms, but I really think you should talk with your doc. If you do need meds that is where you are going to have to go. (legally anyway)

Just my opinion,
Take care,
Kathy

Hi, why did you stop the B12 treatment?.You have to have it for life if you have been diagnosed with a deficiancy.You may have all sorts of problems if your level is too low.Please ask your doc for a blood test for this,I have a deficiency & suffered from all sorts of problems.Some of the neurological damage may never reverse as I have been deficient for so long not knowing.Yes I suffer from anxiety too,which added to the other problems.Lin UK

I agree about the B12 and if you'd do a search here you will find that doctors don't put a lot of faith in B12, the doctors that are not up to date on everything that is. I know it helped my own mother a great deal and she had to stay on it the REST of her life.

Most will agree that Methyl-B1 is the best.

hi
i would suggest dont stop taking your medicine all of a sudden,it can cause various chemical imbalance in body, which can give you other associated problems,moreover try to learn few relaxation techniques to relax your mind also you can play some sports which diverts your mind on whole and make you feel fresh and energetic. also keep takin few calcium and vitamin tablets
