A few years back my thyroid was all out of whack. TSH was high and they thought I wasn't converting t4 to t3 (I think) well so they added in cytomel. I've been fine for all that time and BAM... Now...
Sound simple enough. I have no idea how that could have happened!!! I've only ever been hypo....
Hey SC, After I saw my bloodwork online yesterday I freaked out and called the office and got put through to the office manager. She was very apologetic and took my info and said she'd call back,...
Thanks! :)...
Whoa! You must have been miserable at that level! I'm hoping this is as simple as thyroid, but I guess all I can do is wait. I definitely feel like I have some of the same symptoms! Thanks for your...
Yes, here are my labs: My T4 is 14.2 (range of 4.7-13.3), my TSH is .11 (normal range .36-3.74) and Triiodothyronine is 110 (range of 70-190). I know we really need to look at the free t3 and t4...
Hey again guys. I've been posting about my weight loss, anxiety, possible gallbladder issue and major fear that I'm dying of cancer. I have been trying to get in touch with my Dr for over a week and...
I'll try to keep this short. About a month ago I started feeling really hungry all the time, thought it was gastritis….also diarrhea. A week or two later, I start having pain under my right ribs and...
You're much braver than me! Some days it's all I can do to not just break down in tears. Im glad you at least have a date to look forward to for your CT even tho I know it's a long way off. I hope it...
Hi all. I've been struggling through this period of anxiety due to health concerns and seriously am at my wits end. I am losing and gaining and losing weight again. I waited all week to try to get a...
Yep, me too. It seems like there's something new every day....
Well, that's kind of reassuring. At this point I would be fine with actually peeing my pants to make all of this go away. :smile: Seems like there are so many horror stories out there, but I guess...
I do know that my original problem, which occurred before anxiety ever entered into the picture was abdominal pain under my ribs. I really wasn't feel anxious when that first happened. I still don't...
I'm working on trying to get a CT scan scheduled but there is much going back and forth between the Dr. and insurance and facility. Ugh. Don't they know I'm anxious? LOL. Anyway, of course I read...
Thank God you said that, because now I'm freaking out because I CAN'T eat. My dear hubby suggested we all go to dinner tonight, as its our anniversary and i could barely stand the thought or smell. I...
It is low and its my best guesstimate. Under normal circumstances it wouldn't be low enough for me to lose weight but with the anxiety added in, I guess its possible. I'm trying to be calm and...
I did start keeping track of my food this weekend, and I figure I might be taking in around 1500 cal - I'm sure that's less than I normally do, so who knows. Right now I'm just trying to do as you...
So, I may know nothing about how to fix my anxiety but I know a lot about dogs. I have my own pit mix and have had many foster dogs. The best thing you can do for an anxious dog (besides crating...
my coping skills are nonexistent at this point. I literally did nothing but worry and cry all weekend, so I can say that I haven't not exercised (which I'm not the best at doing regularly) or moved...
I totally relate. It's where I am right now. I can't think. I can't and don't want to do anything. I could just sit in a chair all day and do nothing but obsess over my health and anxiety. It's so...
omg Im down another 1.5 lbs. Please send prayers my way. I don't know if its anxiety.I really don't know if I believe it can do that to you….its almost lbs I've lost in a week. I have had to force...
Thanks! Same here. You could totally lose weight just being outside and sweating. I wouldn't worry too much! I'll keep my eye out to see how you're doing. :)...
I can't remember my last CBC but definitely am going to ask for that too. The hida was the drs idea. I was frustrated with the lack of answers from the u/s and asked where we go from there and that...
I would love just a few minutes to not worry. I'm 37 and my biggest fear in the world is leaving my kids without a mom. Inthink that's why I always jump to the worst possible conclusion. They are my...
I am right where you are specialone. My problems started a few weeks ago when I thought I might be having a gastritis/ GERD flare up. My stomach was always burning and hungry feeling. I guess I...
That's what I thought. I don't remember not being able to take my Xanax in the past but will def check in when I talk to my dr this week....
I just started a new PPI (Nexium) this week. I haven't been on one in a long time. I don't remember how I handled this last time but I'm wondering if I can take my Xanax with it. I have read that it...
I only have a regular scale. I know i"m not urinating more than usual and I just can't come up with a rational explanation, other than the metabolism being revved up. As much as I've searched I can't...
My scale is back down to its lowest today. I am really starting to freak out again because I've been eating pretty normally and had a few drinks. I have been a little less panicked too.. At least not...
I'm glad it's not just me. I haven't had a ct scan yet. Dr seems convinced its gallbladder. I guess if the hida scan doesn't show anything that would be the next step. I don't even want to think...
Hi, I'm hoping to find someone who has had similar experiences to put my mind at ease. I'm a 37yo female, generally healthy with the exception of thyroid and anxiety issues. I was "diagnosed" as...
My u/s didn't show a darned thing! Ugh, I guess that's good that it didn't show an obvious tumor or something but I know they miss things like that sometimes too. Next step is a HIDA scan. Sounds...
Because I honestly can't take the waiting. i can barely function and now I have this new symptom. I left a msg for the dr on tues with a ? about the PPI meds she put me on and no one ever returned my...
I can totally relate to that! There have been many times that I've been terrified of having something….everything from cancer, to allergic reactions, to ALS! Every time I've had a fear like that I've...
So sorry to hear that you're dealing with this too Apple Cakes. You sound like maybe you have IBS or even gastritis? Have you seen a GI doc? I know for sure that my problems aren't gas but i wish...
I managed to get an ultrasound this morning, after I called them. I should have done that in the first place. It seemed really fast for a full abdominal ultrasound. i wish the tech could just let you...
Thanks everyone. I know you all have your own worries too so I appreciate your words of reassurance....
Sorry to hear that you're going through this. I know how hard it is. The first time I had one I thought I was dying. I couldn't eat or sleep for fear of having another one. The one thing I learned...
I'm so used to "my usual" anxiety symptoms but I feel like these are all new and that's why its scaring me. I've never lost weight before that I remember. Trust me, if its just anxiety I'll take it!...
Hi all, I feel like I am going to die, probably because I'm afraid I'm going to die! I have anxiety and panic disorder, most of the time its under control. Recently I've been having abdominal pains...
