hypochondria runs rampant again

[timtim]

fucking had a little bump in my mouth, googled bump in mouth = cancer and death.

took 3 weeks to get into my dentists office (been with the same doc for ALONG TIME). panic for 21 days.

doc looks in my mouth: "its the wharton's duct, its supposed to be there, you made it get enflammed by poking it, leave it alone".

me: "thats it? it didnt say that on google".

doc: "stay off google, crazy people run the wrong search engines and come in here sweating like you".

me: "so what are saying"?

doc: "youre alittle crazy, see you in 6 months". walks out.



3 weeks of anxiety, an extra 3000 gray hairs, and stress. my personality sucks.

I rarely look at google for medical advice. I would be dead from worrying.

ive had throat cancer, oral cancer, diabetes, and ALS so far.

fucking sucks!

 

[silverstar1025]

lol WAY too much info out there for our own good anymore. Try to stay off google and don't watch the news too much.

P.S. You know I probably would have done the same as you. lol

 

[jerseyrugger76]

LOL. I've had myself talked into a few terminal illnesses.

i knew youd be here. dont look into your mouth, a plethora of life ending diseases await you, so says google.

i had mine controlled well (my throat cancer scare was actually a really bad allergy reaction causing terrible sore throats for months and months so something real was happening) for awhile but a guy i work with is the worst hypo ive ever met. everyday, all the time. he actually had to go on xanax daily. this presence blew up my control. im off the wagon and my wife is suffering big time from my crazy.

lol ...rarely good news when googling medical info. At least you were prepared for the worst. Feel better now?

lol It's funny how your symptoms can always lead to some crazy life threatening thing. lol

Shoot you know what freaked me out the most ever? 2 yrs ago I had lots of nerve issues and weird shocking shit going on in my brain. The nurse prac. told me that she wanted to send me to neurologist because she thinks I could have MS!! I freaked out for weeks until I got in to see one. The neurologist was PISSED that she scared me like that and told me that. I don't have MS, but at the time thought I did and was screwed.

Worrying is like a rocking chair, something to do but gets you nowhere

very true, but this is a character flaw and it runs deep in my subconcious. its not always a code red though, just part of the time. ask the gorgeous silverstar, shell back me up.

 

[blueta2]

I googled my illness when upteen dr's could not find out was wrong with me. I'm glad I did cause I found the answer.
There is nothing wrong with reading the net for medical advice as long as you can have common sense about it

Very true! I don't always freak out, but at times it gets the best of me. I would rather not know about people dying young or people dying from cancers that could have been caught early would have survived. That is the shit that plays with me and makes me freak at times when I feel real "off".

I get freaked out inspecting insect bites coming home after every hike in the Scottish hills in case I've been bitten by a tick & contracted Lyme Disease.

Yea, even in the summer I wear lightweight combat trousers tucked into my boots and a long sleeved alpine top when hiking so as to reduce exposure area. The good thing is the Scottish hills where I hike are pretty barren & lacking in marshland / long grass so not as problematic as it is stateside.

How is your situation currently with the disease?

I'm up and down. Was on antibiotics for a while, then got off b/c they make me so sick.
I believe my lyme is chronic so it's a matter of managing it and not trying to just kill the bacteria. I think the bacteria has done the damage.
Thanks for asking
Keep an eye out for any rashes

LOL. I've had myself talked into a few terminal illnesses.

I had a friend who had chronic anxiety and was a hypochondriac... great bro, now rocks out in a band is now making it name known in chicago, but he was convinced that his intuition was telling him he had HIV, well I tried to talk him out of it, the next thing I know, I think I might have HIV too... so we here we are, fully deluded so insistent that we both have a high probability of having HIV, that we got tested 2 hours later... the whole mindset was stupefyingly surreal... this was during my undergrad years, but longest week of my life... one should be careful of the information they let in cause the descriptions you entrench yourself in conduct your perception.

I remember when I was younger and my then - gf and I watch a bunch of movies where the main character has aids (ie Philly, etc). We got tested that night.

It was stupid, but the movies just made it seem real.

this is why when you have the imagination of a 7 year old, as I do that overwhelms the lame voice of logic in your dome, you are very careful what information you let in... seriously, I have like screens upon screens... and since reality is dictated from perception... I guard mine very closely.
