Is this anxiety or something else?

Hi all this will be a long message but I need to get it off my chest.
I had my DD back in October and pregnancy was amazing. I've never ever suffered with any kind of mental health issues in the past.
I had a traumatic birth and it ended in an emergency section.
Since then I've had several health problems.

  1. nerve damage around the bladder. I have to be wee on a schedule and don't know when I have a full bladder.
  2. unexplained high liver enzymes. Had biopsy and nothing picked up at all.
  3. my last period lasted 30 days. Internal scan showed no problems though.

As I'm constantly bleeding / thinking if I need to wee etc I started to have panic attacks about my health. Derealisation mostly but I haven't had one since around Feb.
Since Feb though I've had different symptoms.

  1. terrible eye floaters and trouble looking at words. They always look blurry,
  2. pins and needles in upper back daily.
  3. foggy mind / saying silly things
  4. fatigue!
  5. feeling "zoned out". Always.

I don't have a peak anymore (an attack to have a come down) I'm just always zoned out and feeling the above.

Does anyone else have constant symptoms like this? I'm unable to try AD as I have the unexplained liver problems.
Tbh I'm terrified it's MS and I'm sure the GP will roll his eyes as I'm there so much for bloods etc.

I'm also going to put this in general health.
Any advice would be most welcome x

Sounds like you have to go back to the doctors.

It sounds like anxiety to me. Keep a record of times and days the symptoms come and go and take this along to your gp. He/she will be able to tell you what is happening.

You've been through a lot so it's understandable and you've probably not been sleeping well either
