    I just read your post about undiagnosed illness. I believe I have one or more of those. I can not determine why I keep feeling very weak and unsteady. I feel like if I don't hold on something bad will happen. Is this anxiety or magnified by anxiety? Yesterday I ruled out the heart as the culprit with my final heart test(stress test) I don't have diabetes. I do have a very bad lower back(disk disease) and this could be contributing to the problem.

    You might also benefit from arranging a consult with a therapist who works with individuals suffering with chronic pain, which is associated with both depression and anxiety.  You can do this at the same time you investigate treatment options.  A dual approach may be just what you need to head off further anxiety.
