Anxiety over a rash.

[Speechpat]

I started flagyl for an infection and three days later developed a rash on my face. Of course I went right to the worst case scenario lupus. What does it look like. The doctor said allergic reaction to the medication. It’s not a raised rash more like blotchy patches.

Any better?

[Speechpat in reply to DeeM3]

Yes. I wish I could stop thinking the worst every Time something happens.

[DeeM3 in reply to Speechpat]

Understandable! Curious what does the speech part of your name mean?

[Speechpat in reply to DeeM3]

Thought so... I am as well 😘

Wonderful. I retired two years ago and miss the kids. I found driving to be hard since my panic would set in.

[Speechpat in reply to DeeM3]

Do you do clinical or school based work?

[DeeM3 in reply to Speechpat]

I did school-based for seven years and now I do early intervention in the homes

[DeeM3 in reply to DeeM3]

I get driving anxiety as well and drive all day lol. I wish I was near retirement but unfortunately I’m not so being that I have a mortgage and three kids I guess I have to keep going at it LOL

[Speechpat in reply to DeeM3]

I did school based for 32 and then early intervention for 8. Loved it. Had anxiety most every day but kept going. How exciting to reach out to another slp.

[DeeM3 in reply to Speechpat]

Where are you?

Oh neat! I’m WV

[Speechpat in reply to DeeM3]

I had driving anxiety so bad for a while that my retired father would go with me to school and wait in the car for me. I traveled from school to school. Then I started books on tape and that helped. Sometimes I would get to a good part of the book and wished i didn’t have to go in. Lol. What oils work for you?

[Speechpat in reply to DeeM3]

How are you doing DeeM3? I haven’t seen a post for a while.
