Hi All,
I went to my Dr today about twitching all over my body.
I have fallen into the rabbit hole of dreaded diseases. She did a neurological test and told me it was absolutely fine, however she knows I suffer really badly from anxiety.
She told me to take anti depressants and gave me a script, she knows me really well and my anxiety is really really bad right now.

I went home feeling so much better, then 2 hours later I got a survey through from the clinic - it said it was volunteer and no-one would know who you were, that it was an anonymous survey but when I went to answer it - it had all the questions in there that related to what I'm worried about!

Can you walk by yourself?
Can you walk up stairs?
Are you able to clean yourself?
Has anything changed with your balance?
There were other questions too but they were the main ones!

WTF!??

Now I'm thinking something was wrong in my neurological exam and she didn't want to freak me out so sent me through a 'pretend' survey!

Thoughts? Am I going crazy - is this anxiety talking?
It came from a government site etc and said it was chosen at random but it seems to coincidental!
Thoughts?
I tried calling her but sent an email as she's got back to back patients.

She's an amazing Dr and maybe she thought she'd ask more questions but in a sneaky way after my exam wasn't good!??

ok My DR just emailed me and told me the examination was fine. She said there are no alarm bells. so I'm assuming that means it's all ok, but I still feel like she's hiding something - that's just clinical obsession right?? - On my part, I"m being deluded - correct!

Your DR isn’t legally allowed to keep anything bad from you and sneakily try to get more information.
She could lose her license. There is no way she would risk that to spare your feelings
