> Hi you all know I take valium. But lately a lot of changes that wouldn't affect anyone but me. Like my husband getting work on the custom boats he paint, me I keep getting physical things wrong like diverticulitis. And then on no my GP's word isn't good enough for me. My liver enzymes were up too. So he said the illness of diverticulitis probably messed them up have them recheckecd in a month tomorrow. I'm freaking out as I went back to the ER and had them recheck them. They sent me to a GI doc that checked for autoimmume hepatitis. But even though they are both elevated it is only slight he said to his nurse to tell me it's okay. But I have a CT of liver and sigmoid scheduled. I had a colonoscopy less than a year ago. So now if I listened and not freaked out I'd only be having lab work tomorrow. What do I tell this GP who already thinks I'm nuts as I take valium. And it isn't calming me down. And see how I exagerate I'm afraid he will lock me away cause I didn't listen to him. So what in the world is wrong with me. I also found out I have disc disease, osteoporosis, broke my arm healed now and moved in less than a year. How do I calm dowm Afraid to be alone. Always tired as I worry and worry about everything known to man. Love Phillipa
Well short of upping your Valium dose or taking Xanax, something like 5mg of Zyprexa or 100-200mg of Seroquel might be helpful in what sounds like a spiral of anxiety. If I had taken an antipsychotic when 9/11 happened, I might not have the huge disorder I have now, but we don't know that -- its just a guess. I was hysterical (pardon the mysogynistic word) and had anxiety out of this world compared to people I knew. I was constantly checking my cellphone for news to see if something more disastrous was going to happen.It might not be a bad idea -- and a visit to a psychiatrist.
