Coming out of Remission...?

The past few weeks I have been feeling some old symptoms creeping back. Had some sort of panic/anxiety attack on my way home from work tonight and my leg started shaking. Scared the crap out of me. My heart has been pounding erratically today. I am hoping that I'll feel better tomorrow, otherwise it's off to the ER. So hoping that GD is not going to take over my life again. I've been in remission for just over a year but now...I feel like life is spiraling out of control again. 

I didn't realize how many symptoms I have had of late, until I started writing them down tonight. So many of them I related to having a cold, or allergies or my menstrual cycle, but seeing them on paper reminds me how everything in the body is connected.
