Last year i had chest xrays, ct scan, endoscopy, 2x blood test.
I've tried counselling, 2 x antidepressants.
I struggle to accept this is all anxiety. In contact with the doctor weekly. I just can't go on in life feeling like this anymore, constantly worried there is something wrong with me.

It's hard when it impacts your daily life so much and you just want to feel normal, i just don't know what other tests i can get to convince myself.. Are you on any medication? I'm probably so tense 24/7 that i don't it and focus so much on the physical symptoms. I just can't accept anxiety could cause all this. Glad everything has came back clear for you, hopefully you get your neuro appt soon.

That's my saying everyday i just want to feel normal, your right the physical symptoms are vile I'm just hoping that the medication helps slightly and a bit more positive thinking will help me move on.

I thought they done 3 tests but after the 1st one came back fine nothing was ever tested again. The only symptom that get me down all the time is the rib pain/tension that's constant and it drives me daft.. I admire you been a nurse and having to deal with all this at the same time, it can't be easy.

I had to take sometime off at the start of year but thankfully I'm working at home at the moment, i think once you get all results bad it will put your mind at ease.. It's so hard to stop your mind wondering away 24/7.
