I posted a reply, but it doesn't seem to have gone through. I must have done something wrong! Anyway, you have described my symptoms almost exactly. My anxiety is much less severe as of 2 days ago...
Hi, Chartreux. I understand completely the anxiety you're having about possible surgery. It is a very scary thing. I'm going through something similar. I found a growth under my tonsil which has me...

Hi, Nervymeg. You are so right. When you're sick, everything is magnified and overwhelming. Deep down, I know you're right - this will pass, but it's very hard to fully believe it when feeling ill...
Thanks so much, Lyn. I'm still sick with my same sorre throat - going to an ENT tomorrow. It's all probably viral but has me feeliing anxious, nonetheless. I'm so appreciative of the support I've...

Thank you so much, Graceann and Smiler, for your thoughtful and caring responses. It is so helpful to know you're not alone. It's very difficult to convey to someone who's never experienced this type...
I'm having a very rough time. To give a bit of history, I began having severe GI problems in September '06, was put through every test one can imagine. Nothing was found until very recently, I was...
Hi, Shelly G. Boy do I relate to you! I'm sitting here crying due to anxiety over my health. I've been diaxnosed with gallbladder dysfunction - was actually supposed to have it removed yesterday but...

Thanks, Imalukatic. I actually have been getting about 1500 calories/day. I'm nauseated, not very hungry, but make myself eat bland foods like bananas, applesauce, yogurt, cream of wheat, turkey,...
I was wondering if any of you have pale, yellowish stools along with your other GERD symptoms like I do....

Hi, Sarita. Thank you sooooo much for that thoughtful reply. I am now on a 14 day course of flagyl and Levoquin. I'm hoping that will do the trick. You know, I've not been out of the country, so I'm...
I've been reading this message forum for quite some time - often in tears - and have taken such comfort in the many stories I've read. I finally decided I wanted to join the discussion and tell my...
