Hello
I posted a few days ago..I got cut at a pedicure on my toe and was worried sick about getting HIV or Hep C from it in case the instruments weren't properly sanitised..I got reassured from here somewhat but health anxiety got the better of me..on top of that my Grandmother had a stroke and heart attack..I am living on the other side of the world with my Husband so that was and still is stressful..so I just got so overwhelmed so I went to the Doctors yesterday and asked her to look at my toe...she said it was only mildly infected and gave me antibiotic cream. I told her about my HIV/Hep C fears and she said the chance of me contracting it in that manner is very very very small but she would do the tests for me to help put my mind at ease given my anxiety and my worries about my family at home..so right now I"m waiting on the tests..trying so very hard not to worry and not imagine I will die of AIDS...and my life with my husband to be is only just beginning.
Would love some encouragement from you on here, Im beside myself with bad anxiety right now with everything going on. I'm also getting married in a week's time..I know I need to put my energy into that and thinking about my Gran..but health anxiety is always there...
Thanks everyone for listening..good thoughts for me please!!!
