That was the scariest symptom I had in the summer of 2011 before I discovered Dr. Sarno - I called it "shaky legs" but you describe it better. It's also one of the symptoms that completely disappeared and never came back again after I finished reading The Divided Mind. I've had excellent success banishing various GI symptoms I'd had off and on for years - culminating in several months of alarming weight loss during that summer five years ago. I had stopped eating many favorite foods, but again, that resolved after reading TDM and starting this work, and I eat whatever I want now (the weight loss unfortunately reversed itself, LOL).

The one symptom that plagues me regularly, just because I'm an anxiety hog, is the brain fog. I call it "vague dizziness" but I think brain fog is probably more accurate as it's being described here. I'd been complaining about it for several years before 2011, but my primary (female) doc just said "lots of my post-menopausal female patients experience dizziness" so clearly she thought there was nothing wrong. It got so bad in 2011 that I started having anxiety attacks and depression, along with multiple other symptoms.

Even though I still experience this, it's a lot better than it used to be, and the big difference is that I don't fear it. It seems to be harder for me to banish than the more physical symptoms, however, because I have pretty good luck visualizing those going away. Deep breathing and mindfulness help the most.
