Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
Normally, I worry about what I will find out between the time blood is drawn and results are back.
The anxiety is gone because of getting on the right vitamins - which is fantastic - and this time I got blood drawn and looked forward to learning if my natural cholesterol lowering techniques were working (they are - yeah!).
I also used to really freak out when my kids were little but now that they're grown, I feel far less worried.
But the doctor wanted to talk with me and thank God she talked to me on the phone. One of my hormones is off (prolactin) which can indicate a brain tumor on the pituitary gland. It could also be due to stress, medication, a kidney issue that's not serious or a bunch of other stuff. So I need to go back for another blood test.
Even if I have the tumor, it's almost never cancer and usually doesn't grow beyond the pituitary gland. Still scary. My mom has a brain tumor as well and they just give her meds to try to keep the growth down.
Of course, with all the news about the lady who had aggressive brain cancer and went to Oregon so she could kill herself, I'm a little freaked out.
I would appreciate words of comfort, prayers, calming energy and good vibes.
