Big comforting hugs to you...We all know how scary this can be!! I am 35 with 4 kids ages 12 - 4...And fear really does a number on me....sometimes...ativan really helps get me back on the fighting front again...there are just times when you can't logically reason with yourself and I find ativan just helps till that passes...I also have scans coming up for rising tumor markers and "symptoms" I also find that when I take an ativan the symptoms subside somewhat hmmmmmmmm. Have you tried a nasal spray??? are you on herceptin right now? Have you seen all the side effects the other ladies have mentioned??? Sinus problems seem to be the #1 problem.
I don't want to undermine your symptoms at all..but I know from personal experience how little I can count on myself to be objective when fear is taking over. All the best to you.
Now go and do something...anything..retail therapy ????get your mind on something else for a bit.
Hugs and understanding,
Tammy
