Trying to be more positive

[Ericamo1]

I've been obsessing over every twitch every pain every feeling in my body that it's taking away me from living normally everyday. I feel like I've wasted the last year and a half on worrying googling seeing different doctors getting the same results...nothing is wrong but yet not being satisfied with that only to go to then next doctor to be told the same thing. It's a vicious cycle that can tear a person down. I'm going to really try to not question everything and hopefully get back to being my true self again.

Hi Ericamo1, I was like you a long time ago. I didn't know there was a name for it, Health Anxiety. I could hear the whispers behind my back and the word Hypochondria. Didn't these people realize, there was something very wrong with me and the doctors keep dismissing it as anxiety. I picked the best of the best doctors. My team of physicians were

all specialists. I felt if one missed something the other one would pick up on it. Neurologist, Internist, Cardiologist, GI Doc, Gynecologist, Oncologist/Hematologist equaled my team of doctors.

Sorry Ericamo, pressed the send button by mistake. But you see where this is going.

One person who felt she needed a team approach to her health issues. It wasn't

until the GI doctor told me I was not sick and to prove it to me he was willing to

do an exploratory surgery cutting me from stem to stern. Did I really want to have

a gnarly scar reminding me of my distrust in the medical profession. From that moment

on, I believed what he said. I started seeing a psychologist and found the root of my

health anxiety. I was looking for something in my life to fill my emptiness and somehow

focused on my health. I'm fine now..but it did rob me of many years of wasted life.

This will happen for you as well. All in time, x

When you say the twitching is it like tremors in your head because I get those...they are not fun and they make me very insecure I feel like everyone notices my head going side to side

The ones that annoy me the most are in my face my cheek has been twitching nonstop for 3 days now.
