We are constantly bombarded by the media to go to the doctor and get tests done if we have certain symptoms, which is great if you don't suffer from HA - every time I see one of those damn advertisements it puts me into a complete state of panic. I am so over sensitive to every symptom I have (headache, nausea ect) that I always seem to have a voice in my head telling me that I need to go to the doctor and get referred to a specialist ASAP or I'll die. :unsure:
I know that with HA it can make you go to the doctors alot, but I don't want to keep requesting tests and them all coming back clear - I'm worried that one day I might actually really have a health problem, and they'll be reluctant to refer me...
But at the same time I know that my symptoms are very real! :( So I have no idea what counts as being a justified symptom to need a doctor's visit for!
If anyone else always feels the need to request tests/specialist's visits/referals I would love to know how you manage it, because I am really struggling atm:shrug:
