Ok so I've lost ten pounds in four weeks. Between thinking I have cancer to ALS and my anxiety being in a constant state of fight or flight, I haven't been eating much. I've been to the Dr who just gave me pills to try and sustain my appetite, I didn't even pick up the prescription. I ate normally yesterday but my scale still said less this morning than it did yesterday morning. I'm somewhere between getting ready to throw my scale in the trash and going to the emergency room. Has this kind of weight loss happened to anyone else?

So I started feeling sick about 6 weeks ago, it was just a general unwell feeling..I didn't feel right at all. I then checked my pulse for whatever reason and it was 130, blood pressure was 189/100.. I literally talked myself into thinking I must have had some kind of neoplastic condition from cancer causing my symptoms, I accepted those symptom's as anxiety and it went away. Then I started getting twitching, while I was still feeling unwell.. I convinced myself it must be ALS.. then I developed intense muscle pain in my legs along with low back pain ( started after a 16 hour car drive) I developed a really uncomfortable numbness in my legs which I still have... I do have a rare bone disease and have degeneration in my back, so my Dr thinks I have some kind of pinched nerve. Well.. lately I've been mixing my words up.. not being able to focus, memory issues, i feel like im having difficulty talking, kinda biting my tongue, not thinking straight and kinda mumbled speech. Well im totally convinced i have a gioblastoma, these issues seem to be pretty intense during a high anxiety attack, and then when I calm down a little they mostly resolve, until i catch myself talking funny again and then it spirals out of control. My Dr reffered me to a neurologist but they cant see me for a month!! if I have a gioblastoma, shouldnt i be seen now?

Hi all, my name is Kara, I am a life long sufferer of health anxiety, PTSD, GAD I went into 'remission" for two years, I never thought my anxiety would be this bad again, but here I sit. For over two weeks I've had the most severe pain I can imagine in my back and legs, the bottom of my feet get pins and needles when I'm laying down. It gets very bad when I sit and when get up in the morning. I have been to the Dr and she did tons of blood work which came back normal. She suggest I stretch and do exercise.. well that only seems to make the pain worse. Ibuprofin doesn't even help. I do have osteogenesis imperfecta, which is a rare disease that affects the collagen. This causes spontaneous bone fractures and bone pain. However I am CONVINCED this is lung cancer, glioblastoma, or spinal cancer. The dr ordered an xray because of the pain, but I'm too scared to get it because I'm just sure its going to show a terminal cancer, and that diagnosis is my biggest fear. Any comments or support from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
