I am sorry to annoy you all but my anxiety is at its peak. I have the same headache I posted about two weeks ago... Same side of head (on the right) its throbbing, it started yesterday in the morning. I noticed it is worse when I bend forward or strain (I am pregnant so I am straining alot when I bend down). I took a tylenol when I went to bed but I woke up and it was still there!!! It is scaring me now. I read online brain tumor symptoms are headaches exacerbated by straining or movement. OMG. I am panicking now thankGod I dropped my daughter in daycare safely. I don't know what is is, but its scaring the daylights out of me. Its not a pain so much as a throbbing feeling when I jerk my head forward or make a sudden movement. Have any of you experienced this?

Also my stupid ankle (after icing it for days and epsom salt) seems to be worse. I am so depressed I feel like cacner is taking over my body. I keep thinking of my daughter and this baby and I am breaking down. please help me.

Awww, LMD. I'm so sorry you're having a bad time right now!

I feel semi comfortable saying that this is likely not cancer! You've had some good doctor's visits and everyone seems to think you're doing pretty well!

I would guess that maybe that headache is tension or a pinched nerve or something easily explained like that.

And don't apologize for posting! That's what this forum is for!!

LMD,

Sending thoughts and prayers your way...I am sorry you are having a rough time currently. :(

Did you look at the health anxiety link I recommended for you? Are you practicing the available Resource material every day?

With encouragement,

S.C.

Thanks Park and Scaredy! I made an appointment with the neurologist. I had having to wait through a weekend. Thankgod my mom is coming to town tomorrow. I can't wait to have my baby, I hope all these symptoms go away. I am just worried about this head pain now (it isnt there right now, I think its just a throbbing sensation when I bend down) I don't know. I am so scared.

Dear Luv, how are you now?
I didnt see this earlier today so i am responding late, please let us know how you are, ok?
We all worry about you so don't ever be afraid to come here for comfort, we care!
I do know this, when i had my sinus infection bending over was awful, it seemed like the tenderness
in my temple was like a boil, it went away as suddenly as it showed up, but my temple was tender to
touch for a week after.
I and several others are Praying for you, that you will kick this anxiety to the curb of life, "it will end",
Peace

Larry thank you so much! Your words really calm my heart, you are so kind. I just hate feeling this way. My head now has this weird pressure on my right temple, of course I read stuff online and brain tumor popped up right away. I don't have any pain at the moment (I think because I broke down and took a Tylenol:(! I Don't know if this feeling is worsened with anxiety. I am just a mess :( I just pray that I am healthy because when I look at my daughter I break down and cry I always feel like something is going to take me away from her. Thanks for letting me know you have experienced something similar, it makes me feel better I am
Not the only one. God Bless you Larry

Let us know how your appointment goes with the neurologist. Hopefully this will bring you some reassurance. ..

...however, remember all the reassurances in the world won't replace getting at the core issue, the health anxiety.

After the baby is here, you are going to be very busy. ..

...so I urge you to really apply yourself to learning the self help for health anxiety.

You've got a few more weeks to really dedicate to it. You will be giving yourself, your daughter...and the little one on the way a great gift!
