Doctors always put your mind at rest! You have to believe what he says though because i used to feel better for a few days after seeing them and then panic again thinking they have missed something ha!

I know what you mean when people say it's just nerves, especially when you believe it's the actual end of the world at that moment and something terrible is going to happen to you! You feel like punching them ( if you had the energy)

Good luck at the doctors . I found self help books a godsend in-between my docs appointments...that and cleaning!!

Oh I'm glad you don't have to go far then.
Dont worry about calling in sick at work, we all need a break sometimes.
I will keep fingers and toes crossed for you and message me when you get back to let me know how you got on.

Good luck xxx
