Hello everyone.
I've not been on here for a while as I got really well. But health anxiety is blighting me once again :(
today I've been really sick, and now I've worried myself sick.
I had a huge headache and needed relief and thought I'd try 4head (sure some of you will have used this if you're scared of taking tabs like me)
anyway I used the stick. couldn't feel it coming out and decided to test it was working with my finger. following this I ate some food (with same hand)... thought nothing of it for a while, and my headache went away and I felt a lot better.
Later on (silly me) I decided to read the leaflet that comes with. And it basically says DO NOT SWALLOW> TOXIC> RUN TO THE DOCS. which has panicked me immsensely.. as I have obviously swallowed some when it was one my finger and after eating.
Now I can't stop worrying. Have i swallowed enough for it to be TOXIC, will I die? Should I go to a&e.
Can anybody reassure me in this matter. I just need advice or comfort from others who understand the intense fear like me.
Wishing you all well.
