Hi ladies, i had a panic attack today while getting my weekly p17 shot (for pregnancy)...
this was my 1st shot (out of 20), and the nurse came to my house and will for the next 20 weeks and we had all this paper work to go over and there was an epi-pen that came w/all the paper work "just in case of an allergic reaction"..."if all of the sudden i can't breath"
i think this was what set my off, i was thinking, what if i have a reaction to this shot, what if i can't tell if i'm having an alergic reaction or a panic attack...thats all it took....
i was planning on going to the gym after the shot and i forced myself to go to the gym anyways...and i got through it...it was horrible, but i was "okay" so the new me trying to be positive keeps saying..
this was a good learning experience, i got throught this, i can get throught this, i will be okay...
i just wish i didn't have panic attacks at all:(
ahhhh..................


Did your nurse know that you have P&A? I hope as you go through these darn shots you keep the same nurse so that she is aware what you are dealing with.
I wished I could take anxiety and panic attacks away for you!
Hang In There, and WAY TO GO! on continuing on with your day, sometimes that is the best way to get past these darn pa's!
Hang in there,doll!
BIG HUG!

Heather, I'm sorry that happened, but I sure understand why it did!

Hey Sheriann:). the nurse is coming to my house because i get the shot once a week and its a program that they have and my insurance pays for it so it works well, i could have gone to the dr to get it done, but this is more convient:) the nurse said as long as i have no bleeding i can continue to exercise moderatly (no running or strenious exercise)...but if i bleed...no more movements and they would put me on bed rest, i hope it doesn't come to that....
yeah having that panic attack really sucked...i'm still suffering the "aftermath" the feeling defeated and upset about it but i keep trying to tell myself i'm okay, i can get throught this its no big deal...ahhhh.....
