Thank you for your support, Kate.

I think part of the shaky legs were from the GAD and from being about 104 pounds and having to do a series of exercises when I wasn't in any shape to do so. (In addition to the squats, I had to do some arms exercises; the doctor was surprised at how strong I was but then didn't realize that her little experiment zapped all my energy.) Plus, I was naked and cold. Can you imagine doing strength exercises in a paper nightgown? Thank goodness I always wear KNEESOCKS when I get a check up.

I saw this doctor in October '04, but I didn't tell anyone about my panic and anxiety until February. I don't have those awful shakes anymore since I've been on Buspar and have more strength/endurance from standing and lugging books around at work and walking.

"Gumby Girl" LOL! When I get panicky, I get really shaky and then I just shrink. Really, people think I'm tiny w/ a sturdy head, but I was just huddled up inside my self. I feel a lot better now, relief from GAD and IBS pain, so I can stand taller. I feel bigger now--I have a presence.
