I am new to this site. I have developed health anxiety big time. It makes it hard when you have access to google at your fingertips with your phone! I have had health anxiety for well over a year. After I gave birth to my son my immune system wasn’t at its best and still isn’t- I have had frequent meds, unnecessary CT scans and now I have something going on that is really concerning. So this past 2 years my health stinks. I am mad at myself for some panic to the hospital which lead to unnecessary CT scans- so great radiated myself- I also regret taking meds a couple of times for things I didn’t really have to for. I now fear the pain I getting in my lower jaw isn’t anything serious but I can’t help but think it is. So great more radiation to come because I will not let it go- weird pain I check out! In my defense I had a procedure this summer (which I regret!) which left a swelling spot. I went to dr’s and they dont see an active infection. But no answers about the swelling. It’s very minor to the eye. Now my jaw hurts and I just know it’s a bone infection - you probably think I am crazy! But really I just might have it. I went to several specialists which state it’s not a nerve thing! Your teeth look fine! If I didn’t get that procedure I probably wouldn’t have this issue now so I am mad at myself. I am angry at my stupid health anxiety making me do unnecessary tests and now I may possibly have something serious to treat. So I gotta make changes about googling, gotta stop stressing... it’s just not that easy. I think being a mom it has made me obsessed with being a live and well.. and that’s why I run to the drs. I lost my baby weight plus an extra 27 lbs! So the anxiety took a toll on my body. Then I wasn’t gaining it back so I start freaking something is wrong! So my brain has been shifted to think I am doomed! I swear I just want to feel like my old self again and I want my current issue solved. I couldnt sleep much last night because I truly feel like I have something going on. I just hope all is good and then I can relax...
