thanx to all for the info/reassurance. Being stuck in this w/chair for these 5 yrs hasn't helped for sure.I am forced now to try attivan to see if I can relax some of the muscles in my legs/hips and hopefully it will have some effect on the sciatica,

Russ, I've had every concievable symptom listed in cutler's writings from adrenal/thyroid to sciatica and almost everything in between (and as many diagnosis') the panic attacks are getting bad again tho I've been thru worse when I couldn't see, swallow, breathe etc.
