fear of not knowing

See, when a person has bc for the first time, or even second time, and the cancer has not yet spread, the mastectomy is a major part of the cure that is hoped for, and which in combination with chemo and/or radiation and other treatments really gives the patient a chance for permanent cure. At this point surgery will neither accomplish a cure nor improvement.

As Bill said the first step would be to make sure you actually have the disease and not the antibodies only. 20% of people who get hepC are able to beat the disease off on their own - their immune systems squash it when they are first infected. However you will still carry the antibodies. A liver enzyme can be a good tool to find out what is going on at the moment with your liver. But it can't tell you if they have been elevated in the past. When a liver cell dies it releases an enzyme.

I think at the beginning when we make the decision to stop using, we are told what, how, and why we should do it and that gets us started, but as we continue down the road of recovery we lose sight of what, how and why we are doing it. I believe this is because it never ends. It's a continuous process, we will always be recovering and there isnt an exact guideline on what to do now. Unless you are working a program such as AA, NA, CA respectively.

It's not a fear of suffocation, it is a fear of being trapped because knowing that my brain is trapped inside my head caused me panic and knowing that I am trapped and can't escape the sense of touch caused me panic as well.

I asked her if I could explain some of my thoughts. I did not tell her avout my Vicodin because I did not trust her response however, I told her about my studies in the past 10 days which included AD/HD, ADD, Bi-polar and PTSD. I am a Vet so I have some understanding of these conditions but my reasearch gave me the best understanding I haver ever had regarding my physical and pscological conditions.

Is my biggest fear. This is my second pregnancy. I am 37 weeks + 5 days. I had my first baby at 38 weeks + 2 days but did not experience labor pains. My water broke with him and I was administered pitocin (which is when I started feeling the contractions) the next morning because my labor was not progressing good on it's own. I'm scared I will go into labor and not know because I don't know what early contractions feel like.

Hi everyone, do any of you want to quit taking pills, but keep taking them for fear of withdrawal? Well that was me too, for over 7yrs I took methadone everyday, just to keep from having withdrawals. I started taking methadone for an addiction to other painkillers, I was told that methadone was easier to withdraw from!! I think the not knowing what to expect is much worse than the actual withdrawal. So if you want off the pain pill roller coaster, you can so do it!

, cups, paper, sticks, trash, etc, but I have fear of it being a needle. The funny thing is, most of the time, I never review the photos; I guess just knowing I have them brings me relief. Before, I was even using a picker to pick things up off the ground, which I would store in the trunk of my car; however, I've pretty much gotten past that. It has come to the point that my condition is impacting my relationship.

August 2011 on vacation she had to buy a wrist splint. it did not bother her between May and August.

4 (normal), so, should I still fear Cirrhosis which i have no way of knowing if I have, or does the normal bilirubin give me some comfort?

god bless u..i hope i will come out of this fear and anxiety that ruined my health and peace of mind for the past 2 months..hope that these symptoms are something else but however i will do an STD screening...

Through all of this, the biggest fear for me was those 3 days. Once upon a time, around 6 years ago, I quit c/t lortabs & percs. I didnt have any children at the time & I was sick & tired of the game of it all. I got a very demanding job & after the 1st night got back on it. The fear of what I went thru ten, and then knowing withdrals from methadone is intensified by a trillion is terrifying!!!

i would suggest seeing a therapist if possible because they will have some good ideas about dealing with i, and maybe get to the root of the problem of whats causing it. other suggests you could try on your own is, knowing that the fear/feeling of being alone will pass and although its a deep feeling, it is just that a feeling. also try distraction, and reward if you manage on your own for a period of time.

You have some really classic symptoms of hypochondria and anxiety. Case in point for the hypochondria is when you wrote that since there was nothing wrong with your heart, what could you find to obsess about now? Since anxiety and hypochondria are a bit like the chicken or the egg question, we'll leave it at that. But they do feed off each other and compete to see just who can grow the biggest.

Steer clear of using them in your home and feel good knowing that you do not have any of these chemicals in your home. You can walk by the pest control truck and not get any pesticide on you. These people are professionals and they deal with dangerous chemicals they are taking the proper precautions to make sure there is no accidental exposure.

I have had an obsessive fear of pregnancy/ STD. Every time I have ever had a sexual encounter (not even penetrative sex) I become filled with shame and guilt, and anxiety. The other night I went on a date. We made out at the end of the night and he ended up fingering me. While it was nice during, I became so anxious the next day. Guilty that I would do that with someone I was so newly dating. At the time I wasn’t worried of pregnancy because I knew he only used his finger.

What you descrive is a panic attack when you have this intense fear, then you become afraid of the fear and so on until it becomes a vicious circle. You came to the right place! You should browze a lot of these threads as you will quickly see that you are not alone in your fear and anxiety and you will perhaps learn from how others have coped with it.

Since my teenage years I have had a HIV anxiety, I never did any risky activities because of fear of becoming infected. Recently I went in for a massage and the massage lady gave me a handjob at the end and nothing else, she was not a escort only offered a handjob. After I started to feel high anxiety that maybe I got infected by the handjob but every website said it is no risk, that made me feel better for a few days now my OCD kicked in.

I agree w some of the posts, but for you, if you have a fear of your gf being pregnant that bad then dont have sex. Im assuming your young as in under 21? If you cant physically and mentally take care of a child, DO NOT have SEX! Birth control or not she can get prego from one time od having sex. Nothing guarentees you wont get prego unless u dont have sex.

re on small dose (like under 20 mgs of Meth a day or 20 mg of hydro or so I would doubt that you would have any problems, but I am not a doctor, I just know a LOT of women who are on opiates for legit problems and were pregs and all babies were fine. My friend, who is a doctor also told me not to stress.

You have a heart-breaking situation. Yvette BG gave you some good suggestions :-) May I ask who your Mother thinks your Father is? How far along is she? It is not uncommon when getting farther along in Alzheimer's to flash back to other times in one's life and some one looking like an old man doesn't fit with a younger man one fell in love with. Also, behaviors not seen before can be very puzzling. Someone who was pleasant becomes combative.
