So scared of dying

If you don't mind I will be praying your Dr appointment and that the results are A OK. I did something similar and found out I had Acid Reflux and so I had to eat better.Apples and Bananas and yogurt are things that help my digestion. I have had to watch spicy food and greasy food and when I do that I feel 100% percent better. Take good care of yourself.

It went ok, my doctor who is a family friend sat me down and we talked for almost an hour and a half. No real physical got done, but we did do some blood work. He told me stories about how med students get so stressed out by the rigors of class and studying that they develop anxiety issues; but try and make sence of everything by hitting the medical library. He had a friend in med school who became so afraid of having hodgkins that he had to drop out of school. He made me feel better and wants me to try to therepy coupled with some medication. So right now I'm on .5 mg of lorazapam three times a day and 10 mg of lexapro once in the morning. He thinks that my stomach will work itself out with the power of positive thinking and just me having a even mental keel. Just in case though I'm returning on Tuesday to do some GI tests. If anything he said I may have ibs.
Thanks everyone, you have been a big help getting through this. I was barley functioning a few days ago, but baby steps and I will be able to get through this.

That is awesome. It sounds like you ended up in exactly the right place for you and have a wonderful doctor/friend.

Keep on trying and working at it. It won't take long and you'll be on your way. There will be bumps and dips along the way, but as you get educated, you'll never be where you started out. And that is great news.
