Scary diagnosis

[Elena89]

I feel like i am going into a serious anxiouss attack...
I had multiplex symptoms that mimic cancer of the lingual tonsil.
Last time the ENT doctor said that I have acid reflux and I got pills for that.
I got worse and I visited the ENT again... Now she says that my left lingual tonsil is swollen so I should take amtibiotic.
But god I can not have tonsilitis for 8 months!
She said I should come back if nothing changes.. I know nothing will, I had 2 course of antibiotics already.
When she said lingual tonsil.. I started shaking.. Its like your bad dream coming true.
I can not take this stress.
Sorry for my grammar I am so shaking right now as well I can hardly concentrate.

Your anxiety has taken hold of the whole situation. That can happen. If you seriously feel like nothing is changing don't be afraid to visit her again. After all. that was what she told you to do. But I am sure you are meant to take these antibiotics for a set period of time. Do that. See how you feel one they run out. I always tell people that they have no got anything bad wrong with them until a doctor tells them so. So far you doctor has not said there is anything bad wrong with you. It is you anxiety telling you there is something bad wrong with you. Just see out the medication. Then take it from there.

You said you have muliti-plex symptoms, and you conveyed that to someone who looks at tonsils all day and they didnt find reason for concern. Do you feel like they disregarded whatever other symptoms you told them about? It seems to me that after 8 months there would be a visual appearance other than swelling.

I really hope that there would be another appearance other than that.
She seemed confused and that triggered my anxiety right away.
She tried again the reflux diagnosis but I was very definite that I take my pills, do the reflux diet and I can not feel anything at all in my stomach (I've been having reflux for 10 years I know how that works in me). Ok then she said "maybe your teeth are the problem....?" Actually I was at the dentist office for regular check this week and I specifically asked him could my teeth cause these symptoms? The dentist answered "no way".
Ok then lets see your throat.. and the ENT looked in my mouth with that mirror thing which I hate so much... she was angry because I could hardly take it and gagged a little bit. Well in the end she said that my lingual tonsil is swollen on the left and there is no reason for my ear to hurt. I told her my earpain has been ongoing for 8 months but she did not respond to that like she didn't hear it.
Anyway I will take these antibiotics as well but the last 2 courses did not make any difference.

Today I will go to my GP with my documents and ask his advice becausethis whole thing does not add up!
Yesterday I had to take 1 xanax I was so upset I cried and freaked out my poor boyfriend.

Guys I went to my GP with my papers today.
He said that this ENT doc is a total bulls*** and he seriously thinks that there is something in my brain on my pituitary gland. Gave me an appointment for a brain scan for the first week of January.
Funny thing I feel more brave now than yesterday.
Waiting until January will be challenging... I will do my best not to Google anything and I am serious. Not a Word.

I think this is the worst nightmare of a hypochondria but I will be strong.
