Default spine and head feel irritated, swolle?

I wish I could explain it better, but that is what it feels like. irritated, swollen, sore. I a taking vitamin regimen hoping it will help a little. I am afraid that my nerves have healed wrongly, and this is a permanent state. I don't like to go there because I don't know how to live with that. I am still waking up with nightmares and my body/head spasming and shaking and tremoring.

I read somewhere that that could be permanent degenerative damage to the brain stem and now I am getting anxiety attacks, bad ones. I hope this doctor can help me even a little. also have appointment with psychiatrist. thanks for reading this guys and gals! and please God help all of us to improve

You sound like your very anxious....(understandable!) might sound random, but, do you have a dog? Do you have a friend with a calm dog? Sounds almost like PTSD almost in a way...just think about hanging out some with a pup that could be a good, calming influence. Match your breath with theirs, slow and steady as you fall asleep! If you wake up from a nightmare- just repeat. See how it goes!

got sick in a very traumatic way so it's possible. I will try breathing exercise when I go to sleep tonight. my doctor said that sometimes if a certain part of the brain stem is damaged, it could effect the release of norepinephrine when waking, i.e. releasing too much and causing the symptoms, but I don't know.

Mark I can understand what you are going threw. I feel that you are having major anxiety and you are getting thoughts and they are turning into compulsive thoughts not OCD or anything, just thoughts that are compulsive. I have PTSD and anxiety is very overwhelming along with the rest of emotions I have managed by medication.I have nightmares, major depression, major anxiety, panic, paranoia, stress, I get over stimulated with any stress, behavior problems. What medication are currently taking?Have you seen a psychiatrist?Are your hands and feet most of time cold?
