Hello, My Name Is Raine And I M A 25

Posted on Wed, 19 Jun 2019
Question: hello, my name is Raine and I'm a 25 year old female. I have always struggled with anxiety and depression ever since I was a young girl. I currently am on Cymbalta 20 mg and have been for a long period of time. About a month ago I had started experience muscle twitches in my face that progressed to feeling it in different parts of my body. Many different parts of my body. Arms, legs, back, shoulder, face toes, hands etc. Of Course I googled my symptoms which made them all that more worse. I now feel muscle tightness, minor cramping pains, aches and am SO concerned this is something serious. I DID consult with GP and a Neurologist and both said my blood tests were excellent, With a deficiency in Vitamin D there wasn't anything else they would say was alarming or concerning. So my question to you, is , could this really all be anxiety? I really feel like something is wrong.
