[janemariesayed]

Hiya @Vykryotik and welcome. No, you don't sound strange, at least not on this forum. It's great you like to chat, I look forward to getting to know you and helping each other if we can.

 

[XmasCarol52]

Nope you don't sound strange to me at all.Hope we can talk and help each other out

 

[Concernedgal]

Lord no. I always think that I have everyailment in the book. If I got gas... i'm having a heart attack, if ny side hurt... appendicitis and of course if I have a bad headache. .. brain anurism. Your not alone by a long shot and it's all a part of your anxiety disorder .

 

[XmasCarol52]

You got that right same here if i get bad gas i think my stomach is bad,headache is a sinus infection ugh wish we didnt have to feel like this

 

[Concernedgal]

I wish we didn't either. It's a bitch. Lol

 

[XmasCarol52]

This illness draws a vacuum

 

[Vykryotik]

:/ yea it sucks to be sick

 

[Vykryotik]

I feel the same way, literally everytime I get a little dink it means a new disease...
Yesterday I thought I had psychopathy from a small lack of empathy and little guilt
O yea today I thought I had a GI issue because I was constipated and bloated

 

[janemariesayed]

Thankfully I don't think about my physical health.

Maybe I don't think of it because I'm too scared to. I dare not address it. I get panicky if I see an advert for sickness on the TV as I think the energy of the advert might come out and get me and then I end up with the sickness. So when an advert for sickness comes on I turn over the TV so I don't see it. Crazy or what?

It is awful that we cannot even live our lives without any kinds of fear.When i get chest pains i think heart attack but i have gerd to so I know the difference,but still it doesn't make life any easier, it sure does suck to be sick..Especially when panic attacks can cause chest pains too.

My chest tightens up completely when I have a panic attack. It hurts when I try to get air down so it scares me. It can be frustrating as well when others don't understand our symptoms.

 

[XmasCarol52]

I absolutely hate it when you try to explain yourself to someone and they don't even try to understand all I ever hear is don't think about it,if it was only that easy.

 

[Concernedgal]

I know . It's like they half ass listen to you and then run you out with a prescription that doesn't help you. News flash... if we are paying you then you listen. I can give a crap about your schedule i'm here . I have things to say. So listen up jerk. Lol

 

[XmasCarol52]

HI Doctors have no clue as to how we feel,if they did they wouldn't be so damn pushy. Let them just for once feel the same way as we do then I wonder how quick they would be to talk.

 

[Vykryotik]

Who else here despises it when someone dismisses us? I feel like slapping them sometimes when they don't even bother to at least try to consider...

 

[Concernedgal]

Oh. I hate that. I mean ... are you kidding me? What the hell makes you so special?

As a society in general we are taught that it is not polite to complain. Guess what we do when we are feeling down. Yup we pretty much whingetj hind leg off a donkey.

Most people take afront or give you that get a life look. That's why it pays to have a close circle of friends and a support network of people that understand what you are going through.
As far as doctors go. Don't even get me started. Half of them should be struck from the medical profession for their diagnostic skills and total lack of respect of their patients. Drugs are called drugs for a reason and should only be prescribed as an absolute last resort, not a first.

 

[Concernedgal]

It's simply laziness. They are too lazy to consider any other help . How about taking the time to suggest natural ways of ridding your anxiety. They can't do that. I read somewhere that during medical school ... they are taught to push prescription drugs in order to better the drug companies. Think about. The drug industry hires representatives to push new prescription drugs onto the doctors so they can "sell" there drugs instead of drugs from another drug company. I went to a doctor that would only prescribe Merck brand medication and another would only prescribe Phizer brand. You see ... it's all about there financial gain. Why should they bother to actually try to help us and change our lives for the better. How would that benefit them?

 

[Robert Turner]

You are completely on the money @Concernedgal. Finding an ethical doctor that has his patients best interest at heart is critical.

Someone should set up a rating system online for the different doctors. That would pull them in line pretty quickly. It's a huge shame as there are many really good doctors out there but it only takes a few rotten apples to set the whole barrel off.

That might actually be a really beneficial section for this site. Recommending really good ones.
