Really, am I ill?????

[jill07]

Evening all,

So the question is, am I anxious because I am ill, or am I ill because I am anxious?
Had op (tonsils out OUCHHH!) 3rd July so I know Im still recovering, but I cant believe I still feel so ill.... awful, like flu, feel drugged/drunk almost, so weak, exhausted.... just horrible!
Conquered my biggest phobia facing the op, took me 8 months of stress, illness and worry before I did it, but guess I thought it would be a miracle cure, and I would be feeling better by now - at least a little bit better anyway, but certainly not worse!
Cant drive, barely leave the house these days because I feel so odd... anxiety through the roof, just want my life back!
GP tomorrow.... yet again, so see what words of wisdom he has eh?

Hi Gill
Poor you are you able to eat proper food yet ?? i remember my daughter was on semi solids for 2 weeks because of soreness ???
That will make you feel less energetic but really it is early days yet and sometimes the anesthetic can leave you feeling tired .

Hope you feel better soon Maggie

Thanks Maggie, first two days werent too bad, but then the pain kicked in... oh my days the pain!!! Childbirth was a breeze in comparison! Its eased quite a bit last couple of days thankfully, but Im still not sleeping great.
Trying to keep in mind that I didnt eat for 4 days due to impossible pain, and that Ive been through a lot what with finally facing the phobia.... hope its just that, but I cant get over how ill I feel - its hard to believe that anxiety could cause such symptoms xxx
