HI Bigmark64. I am no longer working and have been to a wide variety of doctors and specialists, including the ER countless times for other diseases I was deeply convinced I had due to my hypochondria.. It has nearly bankrupted me. I decided I'm not going again until I have a real reason to go...

Thank you both for your responses. I have been dealing with the issues for roughly 3 months and have only been on anti anxiety medicine for 2 days. I apologize for using this community as a sounding board for my mental issues. Please forgive me. Thank you
