Dear J**** Hello thanks for your question first of all I would like to tell you that I can understand your trauma and its very difficult to cope in such situation but its life and we have to walk continuously. You have started experiencing burning sensation in hands and redness and altered bowels, needle like sensation. It is a part of Anxiety spectrum illness but you need not to worry as treatment is available. there are two modality of treatment for anxiety disorders and if its in beginning state then response is also very good. - first is non medicinal treatment which include Relaxation exercises, deep breathing exercises, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, biofeed back etc. In these modalities individual is taught to relax himself by own. Individual is made learn to control his involuntary system which is responsible for anxiety. Once individual become receptive he is progressed to other modalities as Behavior Therapy etc. - second is medicinal treatment in which anti anxiety medicines are used to bring individual to level that he can start practicing first modality of treatment. drugs such as SSRIs, SNRIs etc are used which not only cover anxiety part but also improves mood. Mild levels of sedatives are used to relax individual in special circumstances. These are used for short period of time. Dear friend as per my opinion combination of both modalities is best for you, and be assured that you will be all right in very less time. thanks, hope I solved your query. kindly rate.
