Lost on answers

[MKalhor]

Hey all!

I have really odd symptoms that I have been dealing with for a couple of years and have had 0 answers.

If it’s just anxiety, cool, I just want to control it.

Anyone have issues with water drop feelings/electric feelings/random hot red ears?

The thing that always gets me is something seems to be the culprit for awhile and a focus on it, so the hot ears is an issue right now... obviously google is not my friend so I try to stay away but when doctors give me 0 answer I feel so lost.

Why is google not your friend? Is it because you spend time self diagnosing and deciding that you have some sort of terminal illness? If my guess is right and your doctor has told you on more than one occasion that there is nothing wrong, you probably have health anxiety. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t bat an eyelid over having glowing ears. My son’s ears do that all the time! Anxiety can manifest itself in many different ways (self checking is very common), some symptoms being unique to each individual but the root cause is all the same. Your fear of something. Overcome your fears and the symptoms you dislike so much (i.e. fear) will go away.

Hope this helps.

Yup? Google scares me when I look things up. Tells me terrible answers ha.

Your statement does really help, I’ve seen about 10-15 doctors for my “symptoms”. They seem so real, thankfully all checks out fine. My mind always reverts back to stories of “it took them 5 years to diagnose me”... so I am always worried. ALWAYS.

I know a lot of it is anxiety, eventually the symptoms go away and I have peace of mind for awhile and then BAM new symptom... cycle starts all over. My ears don’t hurt they just get so hot and red suddenly, I have noticed it happens when I’m working and stressed or am heading to something I don’t want to do... or when I check my ears to see if they are red 😊🤦‍♀️. Only started noticing all of this a month or so ago. They’ve been fine all day until I was on the phone and got annoyed with a client and bam now they are red and hot... just a cycle, then I stress it’s something else.
