More detachment, anxiety and the joys of limbo

My lovely Phoebe, if you are shaking then it's likely that you are low metabolically. Please check as AD may make that worse.

Adenial exhaution or thyroid malfunction is a metabolic state.

I suggest you get a full blood check, include thyroid, vitamin D and diabetes check. Your MD can help.

Get everything tested,even ingrowing toe nail syndrome.

There are others around who are much better qualified than I who can advise.

Tons of hugs

An emotional shock or sudden onset stress situation can set off the thyroid. I'm hyperthyroid (controlled with meds), which came on suddenly when I moved away from home at the age of 18. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 37. I have to adjust my meds according to the stress load. The bloodwork is never the same from test to test because of this.

My blood sugar can get low, too, which makes me mostly sleepy - but both thyroid disease and diabetes runs in my family.

My handwriting gets very jerky when I'm emotionally upset, too.

There's definitely a very strong mind-body connection and we can have very physical reactions to emotional input.

But relaxation, meditation, massage and other relaxing activities can help balance our bodies and minds again, too.
