Hello

Virus's can be nasty little things and make you feel as bad as you are feeling as well as taking a while to clear up and I have had them often and felt like you

We then start to feel anxious because we feel so ill and the word virus for some reason or it is with me somehow does not registrar in my head that you can feel very ill and it can take a while to pass

You have to try and rest as much as you can if we can accept and try not to panic it helps but I know easier said than done but our bodies are already fighting this virus of and anxiety adds and makes it twice as hard to do

See how you feel in a few days , if you feel you have got an infection then go back and see your Doctor and let them just check you over again but be assured virus's can and do make you feel so poorly when you have one

Take Care x

Hello

Try not to panic as I have said virus's are nasty little things but if you have had it 6 weeks then you need to go back

I have suffered with lots of sinus infections which are very common after a virus and sometimes one course of antibiotics does not clear it I have had to have several when mine has been really bad so g back again sounds like it has not cleared and you could need another course and make sure which ever Doctor you see if one says it is not your sinus's let them know another said it was and let them no that 6 weeks is more than long enough to be suffering feeling this way and I am sure they will give you maybe another course to help clear it up

Try not to let your mind go into overtime ,I know this is never easy but I am yet to come across anyone that has had sinus problems and it has been life threatening which as I have said I have suffered so much with mine I am glad it is not life threatening or I would be in trouble

Let us know how you get on x

Can you take anyone with you ?

Partner , friend anyone who can back you up , speak out for you a little bit and let them no that you are physically suffering with this virus / infection

I hope you get it sorted and I know it is not easy when we feel anxious but try and be as firm as you can with them let them even tell them you are not daft you may be anxious but you know this is not anxiety but the virus you seem to have and if they would sort that out for you then it would help any anxiety you may have , don't be afraid to speak out , remember they are there to help you not fob you of and they get paid to do their job so make sure they listen to you , I really hope you could take someone with you to support you x

I dont really hace anyone close by. Lost my mum which is why depression got worse . I am single mum . They think my body keeps gettimg virus as am run down . Just no i am get worse today i feel awful . Ill ring tom get doc t speak tom me x

I have to be honest I did go through a terrible phase when I was run down maybe due to anxiety of picking everything up and was poorly all the time , there can be some truth in that theory , I always say Doctors know best but then again deep down we know our bodies and if you are not happy then you have to tell them but I would be reassured it would be more than their job was worth after you have complained so often to miss anything seriously wrong , I presume they have done blood tests which would have shown any abnormalities

I am sorry you do not seem to have much support and after loosing both my parents I know how the loss feels , could your Doctor refer you to a Mental Health Team where you could get therapy as well as support , or could you ask if there are any organizations that offer people support you could really do with something as we all need it in some way

Good Luck with tomorrow I hope you get this sorted x

I still have my dad he is worried about me too but he is old fashioned . Just dont think docs no whats wrong my vison been bad now 5/6 weeks eye test says all ok . I no am not well and anxiety is because i feel so poorly just wish they would say yes its this instead of not knowing . I have 4 children and am so scared am gonna leave then . Up until i was poorly i was ok i never hardly went to doctors now i seem to be there all the time . Just want to feel better and not every day like this x
