I'm shaky. My T just called and asked if I could come 2 hours later today because she has a doctor's appointment that came up. She's not sick, she said. If I couldn't come later, she would reschedule her appointment. It kind of screws up my day, but I said okay because I figure they must have had a cancellation.

The thing is, I was so worried about her dying all week, and now this happened. I know my fears are irrational, but I'm scared!! I'm also scared because I hurt all over, and I'm worried about my own health. I was just at the dr. but that was for my virus, which is better now. Now I just hurt all over and have heartburn, but I don't think it's my heart. I know this belongs in another forum--the physical stuff, but you guys are my friends.

The good part is that she got all my emails and says it's of course, not TMI. She wants to do EMDR, of course...sigh...I told her I'd rather do IFS. She says it's young stuff. At least I know it's okay.

But I'm so panicky now, and depressed. I have something to do tonight after my session and won't have time to relax or eat first, though it's better if I don't eat. I feel like crying!! I have some places to go, hopefully that will help me calm down, starting in 2 hours from now.

Rainbow, you took an antibiotic? Did you eat yogurt during that time? Antibiotics knock out our good bacteria in our intestine and yogurt helps to replace that good bacteria.

No, I didn't eat yogurt though I've heard about doing it. I think it's muscle pains, though. Breast/chest hurts when I press all over. Maybe I have fibromyalgia or maybe just stress. Heartburn from eating too much or wrong foods. I looked up and if it hurts when you press, it's not your heart. I'll buy some yogurt anyway because I ate too much ice-cream and maybe that upset me.

I hope my T can help me with these pains too--the anxiety part. I see my dr. regularly. Of course when I was there last week nothing else hurt!

Nellie, I'm not in my session for at least 3 hours!! It's usually at 2:30 and now it's at 4 or 4:30; she'll be there as soon as she can, she said. I can't believe that she would have postponed a drs. appointment for me!! It makes me think she really cares!

Yet, skysblue, you said you canceled your appointment. I hope you canceled your cancelation, then. I'm sorry you have to wait so long.

Yes, I bought and ate yogurt, but I still have those aches and pains. I feel a little better, though. I haven't posted about my session yet. I want to start a new thread. It was good. The yogurt and the session were good!

Keep eating the yogurt everyday for maybe a week or at least 1/2 week?

Not just any yoghurt: acidophilous yoghurt.

Normal yoghurt has yeast, but what you need is bacteria.

If it says "active cultures", isn't that good enough? Thanks.

Yes.

Never heard of yogurt made with yeast.
