Hi folks. A little bit about me. I am 37yrs old I ride a mountain bike daily and also ride motorbikes on a regular basis. I know that i am a worrier and always have been.
About a month ago I woke up with a headache and a had a bit of a tingle on my right side, Yep you got it I convinced myself that I had a brain tumor. So I spent a week thinking about that. Then I woke up on the morning of my daughters birthday with tingling in my hands. I then did what I shouldnt have done and googled it, top of the list was MS. I then spent two weeks thinking about nothing but that. I went to my Doctors,who spent more time typing then looking at me,who basicaly said he could see no reason for me to be worring,but that didnt stop the way i felt. I went back to my own Doctor a week later who sat down and spoke to me and not the screen,and said that i have got mild Carpal tunnel syndrome. I felt on top of the world then to know what it was. But then the doubt started to creep in. I found that i was getting on top of it then something else would happen,I keep getting tingles in my back, and now a burning feeling in my knee, and I am still not eating well, as i just feel sick when I think about eating. It is starting to drive my wife mad as she is the logical one. As I a typing this I an starting to understand that I need to put two and two together and make four,not six million. Its good to know that I am not alone and just wanted to know if there is anyone else who feels like this. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Am I suffering from anxiety?
