Hi,
I feel my health anxiety has been spiraling out of control recently.
Back in Nov i noticed a rash on my leg. I thought it was ring worm and tried different creams and it wouldn't go. The doc thought it was possible a Lyme disease rash. I had already worried about this myself and did 2 home kits that were negative.
The doc at the time asked me about bruising. But I always get bruises coming up on my legs so its nothing new for me. The doc prescribed me a cream to try, it semi cleared the rash up but I can still see it faintly which send my anxiety into a spiral.
I have recently noticed a lot of spider veins on my legs and stupidly googled lyme disease and spider veins and now im back to convincing myself its Lyme disease again.
:(
i JUST FEEL SAD and fed up.
When i am having a good day, I think ok. I had x2 negative lyme tests. Spiders veins are common, especially in women. My anxiety makes my hyper aware, I also had a steroid cream, which can cause spider veins.
I cant even see them looking in the mirror, i go looking for them. They could have been there ages and now I am just so hyper aware of them. I am trying to do more walkin to try and improve my circulation.
On a bad day, I link everything together and convince myself its lyme disease as the test isn't accurate.
