Hi guys,
Been a few weeks since I posted, but I've have a few issues..
Anyone Monday night I was out newt recording (yep counting newts lol) and really enjoyed myself. Tuesday I woke up with a slightly swollen right leg, with a red patch that resembles sunburn, thought it now. So full meltdown commences convinced I had a blood clot in my leg, as dr Google says the area is red, swollen and warm to touch ( no pain at this point)
So yesterday, I rang to see the nurse, who to my horror made an ember any appointment to see a doctor, who by the way I have a deep phobia of. Anyone saw her, she dismissed my fear of a blood clot instantly and said it's abit warm and swollen, and gave me antibiotics to take for a week to help clear it up.
However...I don't believe her, I'm totally convinced she wrong. I'm not getting freezing cold feeling in both feet, and occasional prickly feeling in both legs. Along with feeling wobbly/spaced out whatever it is..in full panic mode..am I going completely off the rails here?
Logic says I wouldn't have a blood clot and still be here 4 days later with no treatment, but I'm loosing my mind with worry and panic.
The one thing that's come out of this is the doc is referred me for more CBT, but at the moment the uncontrollable fear of blood clots in my leg is making my GAD even worse.
Please help :(
