Just as I thought I was coping very well everything seems to have gone out the window had a sore throat bad neck when I joined here it helped and I knew I was suffering anxiety and things seemed ok but my throat kills today and my neck does and I'm checking for lumps all the time
Went to see my own doctor after a very long wait 2 weeks and all I mentioned was the change of life and that I'm not coping well
Not sure I want to through this all again feeling scared. My husbands Feb up with it so I can't talk to Him
Any suggestions
Hi Scruffy,
Could it be overactive thyroid?: Better tell Doc all of your symptoms,amxiety can and will cause all untold problems,however I've nev er had anything like that really .
Again I would suggest scouring through all the forums for related symptoms especially with regard to change of life,because there I can't help you being male,but my wife was subject to many problems with her change which seemed to last a long time.
Sorry I can't be of more assistance,but check out those forums,just typ in your symptoms on your browser and work from there.
Good luck Malc
Thanks for your prompt reply sorry but I have an under active thyroid gland I had some blood taken awhile ago and came back fine so not sure quite what to do xx
Hi, Scruffy
You should have told the GP everything but I know how you forget everything,perhaps if you go again write it down don't be embarrassed they have seen it before my daughter is clinical specialist and tells all her patients to do that when they come to clinic.Try not to focus on your throat because you know our old friend anxiety will kick in worse and don't google.Have you tried to gargle with mild salt water or TCP and suck some lozenges and keep drinking also honey and lemon.Hopefully just a blip let us know howi it goes
Love
Joan
Thank so much it's great being able to rant I really do find it a life line on here I will try gargling with salt and I know anxiety plays a huge part xx
Yes it is nice on here to know we are not alone and be able to rant .xxx
Hi Scruffy,
|Never alone on here, I started this particular topic before Christmas and my how its grown, if we advertise products perhaps we could get some money,although patient..co.uk might not allow it, however hope you feel a little better, and keep on ranting and raving even, it gets it out of your system.
Keep in touch!
LOL Malc xx
Thanks Malc
Feeling very afraid at the moment at work alone feeling rubbish my throat ears and neck are really sore too afraid to visit doctor again but feel like I've got flu this isn't. Life it's just an existence
Hi Scruffy,
Sorry to hear your throat is no better,I am in bed with very bad head GP tomorrow probably say anxiety yes it is through pain.when we find the answer we will be rich (if only) I am like you scared to death today been crying most of the day but there you go.Thats my rant for today LOL.
Hope you feel better soon
Joan
Hi Scruffy and all,
I must admit with all the anxiety I've had I've never had throat trouble like you seem to have,odd really,but of course anything can happen with this thing.
You should see the doctor,when you're suffering as you are,help ease your mind,make it easy on yourself,I wish you well.
Best wishes Malc
Hi Malcolm

Hi Joan,
No you're not alone,so many with problems,young and old,rich and poor,sign of the times we live in I think,if I can help then message me anytime,I will try to be of some use.
Have had anxiety/depression since age 9 it's been one hell of a ride!
Regards Malc
Scruffy,
Please go see a doctor,do not be afraid of this,accept it for now,that's the key to it,acceptance,as hard as it is,just let it run its course.
But see your doctor,no need to be scared,accept,accept.
Your'e never alone!
Keep on messaging
Lol Malc
Thank you so much this forum has so much love because I can't talk face to face I'm glad that I've got people on here to vent my frustration
Malc I'm so grateful without this space Iim not sure I would be here now
Xxxxxxx
Hey scruffy,I'll tell you something,not ashamed of it,but I had enough about 6 months ago and tried to get out of the pain,know what I mean,but thankfully I did not complete the job,look as I said before first accept it,then the task becomes a tad easier,it;s like you're building a dam to keep the water out but facing a losing battle,let the water in,let those thoughts run rampant,but just hold enough back to say to yourself I can deal with you,you can't hurt me,and slowly things will ease.
Like I said,you must see a doctor,don't be afraid,that's what anxiety feeds off,face that fear,only you know what it is,my fear is I fear fear,at the moment I am pretty good,but I seem to have become a little forgetful,I drop things,and I feel like I'm in Wonderland,perhaps going a little cuckoo,but it's kinda nice,still have bad days but I get by,and so will you,believe me,and believe in yourself!
Keep on messaging,I'm up till 02.00 every morning,and not working at mo so always here.
Yours Malc
