@A MyFibroTeam Member, thank you, yes, I did. I'm so sorry that you've experienced panic attacks in the past. But that's amazing that you no longer experience them.

@A MyFibroTeam Member, we deal with alot, don't we? I'm sad to hear you are dealing with them too.
@A MyFibroTeam Member, absolutely, we are in agreement about anxiety and its cause. It sounds like you've been dealing with both for a long time 💜
So sorry that happened to you. My daughter gets panic attacks in extreme situations. We both have fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia makes all of us very sensitive in many ways. Hope things calm down for you today. Hugs.
