    Creeping in...

    Hi All,

    I feel like I've made a lot of progress recently. I had a horrible fear of a brain tumor a few weeks back and it just took over my life. I saw two opticians, a one doctor twice and paid for a private doctor all of whom said i was fine. I also had a routine blood test which came back normal.

    I've just noticed a slight metallic taste in my mouth recently and I get scared every time i miss type something or drop something. I also feel like I get out of breath a lot even though i exercise all the time and it doesn't effect me then. Also, i get really awful floaters all the time. But the opticians wasn't concerned.

    Do you think with having a clear blood test, I should accept that I'm fine and this is all in my head? I'm on Sertraline which, after 6 weeks, have started to take effect.

    It's so hard to tell.

    Hope everyone is doing OK...

    I think you need to trust the medical advice you have been given... Easier said than done I know!

    Like you said, you are making a lot of progress, don't let this drag you back down
