What a WALLY!

[Caramel]

Hey all xx

Well am I ever feeling a bit stupid this morning!!! Came up with a rash on my arm yesterday morning which I was OK with at first - didn't hurt or anything, and was just kind of ...there!:D

Then a couple of people at work spotted it[Oops!] Now, I work in a school, so you can just imagine it...measles, chicken pox, and the biggy meningitis! It wasn't until that was mentioned that I started worrying, and by the time I got home I was getting antsy. So I phoned NHS Direct and answered all their questions, to which the nurse said "Er...I think you should go and see your GP tonight......but I'm sure it's nothing to worry about!"[:O]

Well I'm sure you can imagine what was going through my messed up head!! So of I went to the doc, who made me feel about the size of a flea by telling me it was probably a 'virus' (isn't it always?!) and to go home and not worry about it - NOT WORRY!!!!:( So of course I did the exact opposite and ended up being up all night with the most horrendous panic attacks.

So now I feel totally stupid and sorry for myself - what a WALLY![:I]

You're not a wally at all. If it had been meningitis and you hadn't been to the doctors then you would hve been a wally!! Doctors are used to people coming in with valid concerns so you did the right thing.

I concur with Jo, you're not a wally at all. :D, I'd have been straight off to the emergency department - I'm a big wally. Just because we have health anxiety doesn't mean we shouldn't get things checked out!

Don't you hate it when people point things out???!!!? Guarenteed to make me panic!
