Wow I dont feel so alone anymore. I have heard for years that Im a hypocondriac. The panic attacks came one day out of the blue and my german shepherd has picked up on them and alerts me.
I know my inlaws and some friends think that my medical problems are made up. How many 29 year olds do you know that have a gastric pacemaker, they dont give them to fakers. I also have something called gastroparesis, I also have fibromyalgia. I had a hard time getting this diagnosed because I had the opposite effect when I got sick, I gained weight. Just about everyone with this disease looses weight and here I was gaining weight.
I have to say since I have gotten this pacemaker my life has turned around so much, Im not nauseas all the time and I can live my life and I can eat again. You dont realize how much food is a big part of being social until you cant eat it. I still have my limitations on what I can and cant eat but I can eat and look somewhat normal
I have had a pretty good grasp on my attacks until something big has set them off.
Its funny how much of us are actually alike and its all because of the yorkies we are all here together
