Re: Decreased urination - kidney failure
Okay, not at work now so I can answer this at greater length.
I'm concerned about you, Mr. L, because you keep on falling down the same rabbit hole again and again. Every time your body does something, you take it as evidence that there's a sinister cause and go into full panic mode. This isn't healthy for you, or your family.
I know it's tough, but at some point you really need to acknowledge that the one common thread here is your anxiety response, and this is what you need to be working on - not whatever random sensation is currently frightening the daylights out of you. Believe me, I'm aware of how hard it is, but you need to focus a lot less on what you think is happening to you, and a lot more on how you wrangle your reactions to it. This will help in two ways - it will help you react more rationally, and give you an alternative focus for your attention.
Not sure about you, but I always used to think of myself as a pretty smart person - I thought that my brain was the only worthwhile thing about me. Realising that there could be something wrong with my mind took time and humility. What I've learned, though, is that I'm not always right and specifically that most of my worries are completely misguided. It's okay to be wrong, it's not your fault, but you do have to acknowledge that your thought patterns can be flawed, and rely on people who don't have the same problem, like your partner or your doctor.
I really hope you can come through this, but I'm worried you're going to land up revisiting the same old territory again and again.
