The pill anxiety: I know it well!!! I can soooo relate to what you describe here about worrying whether you've taken a pill or not......

I just realized the way I phrased things in my last post, it sounded as though both my parents had passed away. Sadly, my Dad did die 3 years ago. I'm pretty sure that triggered my current health neurosis. Thankfully my Mom is still alive, but she has had breast cancer, and then, 10 years later, she had a recurrence. Touch wood, she is in good health now though.

It's no problem at all to ask about the tests I had done. As you might imagine, they were all "non-invasive" since I am terrified of anything to do with hospital procedures that might require anesthesia!! I had a ton of blood work done and I've continued to have regular blood tests over the past years. The bloods I've had done have been for things like thyroid function, liver function, signs of inflammation, anemia, diabetes, vitamin deficiencies and pretty much anything else that can be tested in your blood (including cholesterol etc etc).

The only thing that was abnormal was my Vitamin D. I was really low. Apparently lots of people are, and low Vitamin D can cause or exacerbate mood disorders, so that might be something that you could have tested? (B12 is another blood test you could have) I've been taking prescription strength Vitamin D for about 2 months now and I think perhaps it has helped a bit. I've got one more month of the prescription strength to go and then I'll have my blood re-rested.

I've had several EKGs and I also had that Halter Monitor test where you basically get wired up for a 24 period so that they can monitor your heart rate over an extended length of time. The tests were normal, though my resting heart rate is on the low side, and that freaked me out a bit because that seems to fly in the face of someone with anxiety.

I also had a chest x-ray and a lung function test. And I had the usual "female" type tests too (mammogram etc).

I've probably had more tests but that's all I can think of right now!! Oh, at the naturopath I had a Food Intolerance Test and I'm waiting to get the results of a saliva test which should show what state my adrenal glands are in.

Gawd.......I can't believe I've just listed all this!
