Well my most recent fear was that I had a Glioblastoma Multiforme (a very rare but lethal brain tumour)
As soon as my GBM fear disappeared something else replaced it: this time, the outsides of my eyes appeared yellow in photographs. Long story short saw a GP who said it doesn't look like jaundice at all, but she'd run tests to reassure me. Of course, I've been taking oral Terbinafine for toenail fungus (yes gross, I know) and it is known to induce liver issues.
Of course my colleagues and I were talking about it today and when I said I was on it, one of them jokingly said: "you could have deranged LFTs from that" (LFT - Liver function test) (We work in Pharmacy)
Either way my GP is happy nothings wrong with my eyes - but still the fear continues? What if she's wrong?
I've seen jaundiced cancer patients, and they're almost a radioactive green from it - which is nothing like what I have. I'm sorry if that sounds disrespectful there.
Also, is there anyone else on here who works in healthcare - do you find your job makes your anxiety worse?
