Hello HA people
I have been terrified of having HIV, MS and Schizophrenia over the years. I now don't worry about these conditions. My anxiety has found new territory! So if you are worried about these things, the worry does go away. I was genuinely convinced I had them at one time or another. I didn't have them and still don't have them.
During a recent pregnancy I had all the worst pregnancy condtions, except I didn't.
In the last couple of weeks I am convinced I have Rheumatoid Arthritis because I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and stuff ankles and legs. My GP suggested I have a blood test and I've waiting to speak to her about the results. She suggested the blood test not me! So this time I think it might be for real. Obviously if I do have it, it will be severe, I will end up taking drugs that will make me lose my hair and will end up in a wheelchair, unable to work and look after my new baby.
It makes me laugh typing it. But when I stand up and feel my aching ankles I will be terrified again.
It's so good to find a forum where I can hopefully help others and help myself too.
If you are reading this, nice to meet you!
