Hello winnie,
I completely understand how hard it is to trust Dr's when you hear all the time of misdiagnosis. However tests dont lie. Its good to check your eyes, but anxiety can cause short sharp pains in your head, I get them all the time. Im 32 and been suffering with anxiety since before I can remember. Anytime I feel something I think the worst, curreny Im running high fever for 2 days, my throat is sore, and my lymph nodes in my neck have been swollen for 3 weeks. I praying I dont have leukemia, or lymphoma. My 20 month old just got over a virus with high fever but no one else has gotten it. Anxiety can completely take over your life, as I write this at 330am, bacause Im not sleeping!! I do alot of praying at night! I hope you are somewhat relieved that it happens to others, you are not alone!
Michelle,
Thank You for the reply I do feel better knowing I'm not alone someone told me it could be allergies so I'm taking allergy medicine to see if that help I hope you start feeling better
Your brain looks fine so that is not a misdiagnoses. It is not there.not nuerolofical. Now have you seen a rhematoid doctor to rule out auto immune possibilities? They will thouroughly examine you like no other. Give that a try. Now if that all comes back all good you will need to accept you have mental illness and work on that. But nothing wring with ruling out everything else.
Nuerological*
Hi winnie,sounds like your symptoms have lessoned alot,that with all those tests should make you feel much better. Probably good you are going to your doc again though if thats what you need to do to help with the anxiety. I have health anxiety big time,its so hard to deal with. Keep us posted. Xx

Thank you for the reply I have an appointment with my GP in June I do feel better knowing test don't lie but there still a lingering anxiety about the misdiagnosed cause I had an uncle that was miss misdiagnosed doctor said he had a stroke 2nd option said it was tumor so that always lingers in my mind I will let you know I have an Eye appointment the 18th so we will go from there
