You need to go the dr and talk to them. B.C anxiety and stress is not healthy....It can be very dangerous. I have suffer with a lot of that... I got really scarded and went to the Dr. Now I am meds....I can feel myself getting stronger and happier. But there is a lot I have to work on now...Since my life has changed!

Thank you. I have been to the doc and went back on paxil. I've had anxiety and panic attacks since I was a child. Been on and off low dose paxil for 10 years.
This is just a really bad bout because of the death of my dad and caring for him was very stressful. Since then I feel like my body is freaking out with all these (rather minor) symptoms. My doc thinks its normal anxiety and to watch to see if I get worse symptoms.
I've just never had the twitching and now this raindrop feeling on my arms and legs. I'm constantly reading the medical sites and checking off all the ms symptoms I don't have but its a viscious cycle!
I think greiving can almost manifest physically in an anxiety prone person like me.

I thought I was going crazy, but my sister also told me it could be stress and anxiety. I too losted a parent, and ever since I have been having sleep problems, I feel dizzy all the time as if the ground under me is moving, and I also feel like water drops hitting my body. I had a blood test last month and everything was ok and I got my heart checked; I go back nov 1st for the results but they didn't call me back yet so I assume that everything is ok.

I'm sorry about your loss. It can make you feel very strange. My gp wasn't too helpful but I spoke more with a naturopath and she said that when we are under stress (like grieving/anxiety) our nervous system is more stimulated and can fire off inappropriate messages, then we get all of these strange sensations and feelings.
I thinks my dizziness is partly tmj because my jaw and beside my ear aches and feels painful if I move it a certain way or open my mouth (like a yawn etc).
Its good to find that other people have these symptoms and it doesn't mean we have a terrible disease.
Stress , anxiety, greiving can cause so much!!!
Take care

i am so sorry for your terrible loss!
9 days ago is so very recent, you must be in shock at the moment.
Things may be up and down and completely out of whack for quite a while. For me, its been 8 months and I still feel it everyday. You will have good moments too.
Rationally we know that these things do happen in ones life and yet it seems incomprehensable that its happened in ours or that someone as close as our parent can be gone. It is just unbelievable!
It's so good that you have some support because I think that talking with people and knowing that others have experienced this to some degree or another can be helpful. Especially in not feeling so alone or that its somehow unnatural (though it feels like it). It's also good to be able to express yourself and not feel like you have to say you are "doing alright" all the time to people who politely ask how you are. Because even if you are handling it all very well, being strong and going through it normally, it is of course very hard and awfully sad, especially in the beginning and after the inital flurry of activity and people subsides.
Please take good care of yourself, nourish yourself, treat yourself (when possible) to the things that can realx you and bring you comfort.

All the very best to you !!!!!!

Do any of you guys get a weird shock feeling in the middle of your back.
I too also feel the rain drops on my skin, but I also get this weird shocking feeling my back. Just wondering if i'm alone.

I don't get the shock feelings in my back. I've asked my friends and some have had the raindrop feeling from time to time and some have even mentioned the shock in the back when turning head . So, it seems that unless these symptoms are constant or accompanied by fatigue and lots of other stuff, its quite normal. I think if we have anxiety, we tend to notice these things more?? I'm really not sure. I feel all sorts of tiny twinges that come and go, pains, little shocks etc. That I don't remember ever having.
Do you have other symptoms or mostly anxiety and chronic stress?

Well I do think I have some type of anxiety because i'm easily startled and one night I woke with my heart racing, I thought I was going to die. I went to the cardiologist about 3 weeks ago and they haven't called me yet. So I think everything is ok because if it wasn't they would have called by now. I still worry even though they haven't called, I always anticipate the worst. I think I need to see a psych or something to correct these problems. But I do definitely think that I suffer from some form of anxiety.
