Hi all,
It's been a while since I have been here. I have continued to badger the drs and finally have a break through. After months of being told its all in my head, it turns out I was right all along when I kept insisting it wasn't. Having never been an anxious person before recent times, I knew there was something wrong with me physically. So after a week of being gluten free I am like my old self almost. No more anxiety, or panic, or depression and my stomach is almost back to normal too. Drs can be a little too fast sometimes to write people off and insist its in their heads. Granted I became health anxious and thought I had all sorts including cancer. Now I have a valid reason for why I was feeling so bad and in so much pain I can get my life back on track. Health anxiety is crippling. But so are drs who don't look past it to see if there is a root cause, either psychologically, emotionally or physically. Also would like to say thanks for all the support I had from the people here. You helped me through a really rough time. I will continue to use this forum to help others if I can.
