For years I have been suffering with health related anxiety that is exacerbated by GERD and IBS. I take medication for both. Over the last several weeks I have worked myself into a panic regarding pancreatic cancer. I have nearly constant areas or patches of tingling and pins and needles feelings. If cross my legs,my leg ofton feels asleep after I uncross them or my arm will feel asleep after I lower it from above my head when I holding something up in the air. My foot will sometimes feel numb after a short drive. I have also had one eye that is weaker than the other for years. Lastly I have frequent mid and lower back pain. Non of my symptoms are constant in the same locatin except the eye. The rest come and go but have gotten worse lately. I pray that all of this is anxiety and my increased anxiety is what is making it worse. I made the mistake of googling these symptoms and they sound like diabetes which is a symptom of pancreatic cancer. I am 37 and run a few times a week. Does anyone have anything similar? I am a wreck right now and I NEED someone to talk some sense into me. I feel like I am 30 seconds away from calling a doctor who has seen me way to ofton over the years. With many of my other panics of the years, I have waited them out and I have figured if they didn't kill me I must have been imaging it. It would be very helpful if someone could tell me what the timeline of pancreatic cancer is so that I can say to myself, "it has been x number of months and it hasn't killed me so it must just be anxiety". Anyway, I know this message is all over the place but I am at my wits end and I could really use some sane advice.
Thanks
