Obsessed? isnt that a symptom

I have this forum on my pc all day so I pop in throughout the day most days, except if I get stuck working all day or weekend visiters.. must admit I do start with withdrawal then though

[babyjane]

and here I am back again..........

[CLKD]

I'm nosey, end of 

[Cthrnstowe]

Went to my hospital appointment, the X-ray I had come back ok, they have discharged me, think they are just fed up with me lol xx

[CLKD]

Well the result if OK - how do you feel otherwise?

[Cthrnstowe]

Hi clkd
I always feel better when I get the results back, but give me a couple of days and I will start looking for something else, it really drives me crazy xx

[joyce21]

I find coming on here really helps me, calms me down and makes me realise i'm not the only one going through this
Maybe we should also put on here when we have a good day, or at least a good few hours in a row lol
I had one yesterday, i went to work for a few hours till 3pm, then in the evening i went to see the bay city rollers (they were at the theatre where i work) they were brilliant, and for 2 hours I was 15 again , had a wobble when i got home and when I went to bed, but i find if i'm distracted I'm not too bad, and also I've now associated bed-time with feeling poorly, and the more i think about it the more wound up I become, can't win really .

There is a topic for 'positives' on here somewhere Joyce

I have just realised that I have health anxiety about my daughter more than me, does that count?  most of you know she is pregnant, due in December.  Suffering from pre natal depression, her husband is an idiot (and that is the polite version).  Today she has been to see midwife as she had blood in vomit and has a sore leg, midwife told her this might be a blood clot and to make an appointment with GP tomorrow if no better.  I told her to go today but no, midwife said............ I dont give a rats what the midwife said, but DD does.  Can you imagine how big a mess I am in now?
She has been at my Mums today, her idiot husband is just across the road staying at his parents place while they are away and she just text me to ask if I will run her home as the husband is being 'awkward' he has taken no interest in her being ill all day, and he has been off work too.  Getting harder each day to keep quiet with him.

just to keep on topic, I thought I was having major anxiety but thinking logically it is worry about her, which I dont think is misplaced in this instance.

If the Midwife isn't worried the you don't need to be.  Blood in vomit often looks more than it is, could be a small burst blood vessel in the throat  .  However, continual vomiting in pregnancy needs full investigations by a Gyanecologist.

The problems regarding her husband should be her problem, not yours!  She is a Big Girl now …….. and while you keep enabling her by 'running her home' to  where? don't they live together  means that he is never having to do things with your daughter.  Maybe he feels that every time you step in to help her means that your daughter is taking sides and it might be easier for him to go with the flow rather than stepping up!

You need to look after you

Loved the talk of hob nobs, antacids and comfy couches for a get together! Overnight bag? I'd need a suitcase as I have to come from the other side of the world. I'd do it (have visited the UK many times before) but my nerves might stop me at the moment. Oh well, the get together has to be on line for me, I guess.  As for my virtual contribution to the festivities: a box of tissues and some squeezy stress balls, perhaps? A dart board and darts ...?

Hope there's room for another one! HA is my worst meno symptom - I can relate to every one of the posts.

I've been off the board for a week or so, as away on holiday. Prior to that I was very busy with work and didn't seem to be as troubled by the HA, though was (apparently) very grumpy, ha!. In fact, as someone else mentioned, I too had actually gone about three and a half weeks without any new 'symptoms' and I thought I had cracked it. Anyway, off on holiday and wham! the mysterious mobile pains are back accompanied by their friend Mr panic attack. In the morning a pain on left side, in the afternoon it's moved to the right, then into shoulder blade, next down to hip. Anytime I went into a place with lots of people - a supermarket, a town centre - I could feel the panic attack rising and stomach churning. Had to keep going and pretend to be normal but really just wanted to go home.

Strange thing was, hadn't had a period since April, then on way home - all the pains disappear and a scant period arrives. What's that all about then? There was I worrying about some new undiagnosed condition and it was most likely the good 'ol hormones. I am so fed up with this.

thanks.  Last mention I will make of this - BUT, without wanting to bore everyone to death with the details.. its her husband that runs to mummy not her.  she has put up with a lot.  All I did was give her a lift home and worry. The husband has been staying at his parents house while they were away.

I am not so lucky as to have that much faith in medical profession either - my family have been the victims of many an 'error' that has been made, from total neglect to incorrect medication that near killed my mother.  So sorry if I do not have that much faith.

Bugger - I'm back already.   Posted in thread on pile panic about doctor mentioning that my pile might be a polyp.  Am now convinced of cancer diagnosis and know I am headed for downward spiral of not eating, not thinking about anything else.  ETC. 

Sorry if I sounded smug when I suggested cold turkey from this site for a week...

[SadLynda]

so sorry to hear how scared you are Rebel, from what I have read many of our ladies have had the polyp and that is all it is.  No you did not sound smug, you sounded hopeful.  No experience on this one so far so I cannot advise further sorry.  just wanted to say I am thinking of you.
