OK
have read some of the getting rid of 'Dr Google' thread
and understand
and agree
the thing is , I am not googling illnesses, not even typing in the c word, or stuff like that
i just type in a symptom, like 'face flushing' - and sudenly i am confronted with a whole new form of c. that includes other symptoms that i sort of have
and the more i read the more i fit
or then i google it somewhere else and oh yeah - great- mostly in people my age, - often treated as IBS but not - yes - etc
am literally terrified
but dr is putting everyting down to anxiety, esp as psychiatrist said i have chronic anxiety
yet some of the symptoms dont happen when i feel anxious - or at least not aware of it
they happen - THEN i get anxious
omg i am SO exhausted by it all, by being ok on off during the day
and then by the evening almost hysterical
SO
the psych. wants me to take pregabalin (lyrica) which i was meant to start in feb - but havent, yet
the gp says they need to stabalize things
really am all over the place with this, - have always had it a bit - but it has escalated massively - and of course there is always the constant fear
IT COULD BE TRUE
and what if it is, and the meds conceal it
or they dont conceal it, and continue, and then it is real
guess you get the picture by now !!!!
so sorry for going on - hub is throughouly fed up with it and says we are being stupid keep googling, going on on on
but you cant make up the symptoms that are there, surely
