pb's Health anxiety worries thread

[pulisa]

I use to enjoy cooking, ive got some apples from my sisters garden, I could attempt an apple pie tomorrow, rather then focusing on my many and changing symptoms.

Great! Getting the pastry just right will concentrate your mind! xx

I've had HA for most of my life, some years worse than others.
Last year it got so bad I couldn't eat and lost a lot of weight - another cause for panic.
What usually helps is a visit to the Dr to get the "all clear". Unfortunately this time I was sent for a lot of unpleasant tests and nasty treatments that were probably unnecessary and made me feel worse. To top it all off it was discovered that I had gallstones and it was decided that I should have my gallbladder removed. Which I did and this resulted in a whole new list of complaints to be anxious about.
In the future, I won't look for trouble!

How was the pie? Did you save us a piece?

Great going, Pb!

What are you going to do today, pb?

I have started the pregablin today and it has made me feel very tired, also getting muscle spasms in chest, ribs and back and my sternum feels tight, of course I’ve gone to heart attack , although I have had spasms lots of time , but not the sternum symptom

Well done for starting the pregabalin. All you can do is give it a trial over a period of several weeks at a therapeutic dose. Taking the first tablet is the hardest bit xx

I’m pleased that I’ve started, this morning I just thought I can’t go on like this. Worried about the spasms but really trying to be rational, Ive had lots of tests, I want my life back x

You're taking all the right steps, it'll happen soon enough
