Hi
Just thought id share this for 18 months i have been so scared of the possibility of having some awful illness. So when i saw my nuerologist on monday and he told me the scan was clear but there was a slight chance that i may be starting ms ( although he said more likely anxiety but couldnt rule ms completly out ) i couldnt believe how calm and uneffected i was by it. I just told myself well it probably isnt but if it is theres nothing i can do and it would be years untill it was a real problem. Now what i have figured i spent so many months worrying what happens if i was told it could be something like ms i wont cope ect but i am coping fine so if i can do the same with other things and realise the thought of it is worse than it i will win. Got heart specialist next week and i have decided what will be will be, just got to try to do the same with my fear of medication now got to think the fear of the side effects is worse than the side effects and am now considering taking some medication for my anxiety when i see my gp in 2 weeks
