ver the last six years..
6years ago had chronic migraines, had MRI diagnosed as Cluster Headaches treatment -Naramig
Also chronic Health Anxiety - Citalopram and two full courses of CBT
Constant Tinnitus, checked via ENT and diagnosed as being condusive with working in a noisy environment or Anxiety related
Had tight throat making it difficult to swallow, Six endoscopys (camera up nose to check throat), one gastroscopy (camera down throat to stomach), five oesophageal biopsies to check for acid reflux damage - All clear diagnosed as pharyngeal spasm or globus hystericus as it used to be known.
Was lined up for a video flouroscopy but had a meltdown in xray theatre because I had read up on the long term effects of ionising radiation so didnt do it.
Had blood in stool, hospital for flexible sigmoidoscopy, camera up jacksy, diagnosed as nothing to worry about.
Felt like i still needed to urinate when bladder emptied, had camera down uretha into bladder, all clear
Trod on a disarded needle in a dark footpath tunnel. Had to go to AnE tetanus and Hep B jabs then refferred to Sexual Health Clinic for four monthly blood tests for HIV, Hep B, Hep C, Syphillis (all contractable from infected needle). - All were clear
Bad palpitations, had 24hr ECG and ultrasound heart scan - All good
Right now I am struggling with chronic anxiety, depression and PTSD and over the last month am having really bad panic attacks 3 of then requiring ambulance.
On Naramig, 150mg Sertraline, 5mg Diazepam and Zopiclone (as i struggle to sleep)
What I am trying to say here is each event of Anxiety is like a cup slowly filling up with water at each anxiety inducing event until it overflows and you have a breakdown (Where I am now)
Ps Ive also tried Mindfulness, Relaxation, Self Help and am currently in counseling with a psycotherapist.
