I just had my doc appt. all labs are fine. I keep telling doc I feel pins and needles all over my body, joint pain. Says it’s not cancer or tumor. Not fibromyalgia. I’m fine and that it takes months for anxiety and depression meds to fully kick in. I swear every single day I am dying inside. I feel like an illness is taking over my body slowly. I just don’t understand. I can never leave the doctors happy. I just feel something wrong.
I can’t trust a word anybody says when they say I’m okay.. I am getting a test for Lyme to rule that out otherwise I have no darn idea what is wrong...im giving up faith.
I too feel your pain. I feel something is wrong with my heart. But I also realize it’s my health anxiety because once I hear... the all clear... I move on to another pain and another symptom and another deadly illness. It’s a vicious cycle I have no idea how to get out. Even what.... is maybe a little headache.... becomes the worst I’ve felt in my life... and then the obsessions start. I’m sooo done living life this way and watching it slip away! But is nice to know we are not alone.
Exact same feeling all the way. Are you on any anxiety meds.
Yes I’m on citalopram on week 3... doctor said I really need to be patient and it takes weeks to months to even feel 100% again thing is I’m losing patience
Do you have benzos to take when you feel an attack coming on?..3 weeks is a good enough time if not better by 4th I would switch meds
Been there! Do as much relaxing activities as you can, try a naturopath (covered hopefully by your benefits), and try reading “Overcoming Health Anxiety” ($11 CAD on Amazon). Tests are tests, getting them redone probably won’t help so try visiting a clinic perhaps for different perspective
No not yet.. they said to see how I feel in two more weeks if nothing then they will perscribe benzos to help.. I see some changes but the only changes I want is for all my psychical symtoms to disappear.. I have to be patient
Do you ever get pain under ur armpit area I do and it worries me I’m dyinbwith lymph node cancer
Omg yes! That’s been be the last couple weeks. Blood tests are fine and doctor said I’m fine but of course I think otherwise.
