Exactly you have hit the nail on ther head of what NMP and this thread are about.....Reassurance and help for you panic and not for diagnosis.

it is fine to say........'I am panicking because I have this symptom please could you help me by reassuring me with your experiences and help me calm down'

but not... 'I have this symptom/lump/pain etc can you tell me what it is please so I do not worry about it anymore or go to the doctors about it'
