Hi All,
I am a newbie here, I have had ongoing health anxiety for some years now which started off with an incredible fear of flying! I have since gotten over that specific fear for the most part, but I have had some health anxiety issues over the years which have now been magnified now that I have two small children.
Last year I was diagnosed with kidney stones because I had been having left flank pain that radiated from front to back etc, they were small stones, 2 x 3mm. However my doc just told me that I should pass them and besides she couldn't do anything for me as I was pregnant with my 2nd child. My son was born in April and all through the pregnancy I had no problem with the stones what so ever, infact I think the pain when away, maybe I passed them I have no idea!
Anyway several weeks ago the pain started up again, the exact same type of pain, I went back to the doc she said she could send me for a CT this time. So now I am waiting for the results, but unfortunately I went onto google, and kidney tumour symptoms are pretty similar to kidney stone symptoms, I know this was a huge mistake and I am totally freaking out! I keep having visions of my kids growing up without a mother, I think I really need to look into this CBT.
thanks for listening
