[QUOTE="Marcus1234, post: 1805348, member: 476626"] I've just turned 50 and really thought I would get more care free as I got older, however it seems to be the opposite. The dentist incident is one of many things that happened to me and probably to a lot of other people too. You have had your reasons to cause you health anxiety with hospitals etc, People go to hospital for care and treatment, yet the amount of medical mistakes that occur are becoming more frequent. Everybody knows someone who has a story to tell about misdiagnosis or given the wrong medication etc, this in turn causes people (me being one of them) to lose faith in our national health service. Yet on the other side of the coin the NHS do an excellent job of caring for people, working long hours and giving 100% commitment. However there is always the reality of "what if's". What if they give me the wrong meds, treatment, bloods, chemo, etc etc etc. the list is endless. I think it is a credit to you that you have been able to find articles and books that help you understand what is going on and you have dealt with this head on. What I find really difficult besides the health anxiety is the excessive tiredness, I work full time and when I get home all I want to do is sleep, when I get my days off all I do is sleep. It is like the get up and go as been taken away. My BG test kit arrives next week and I will start getting some readings of what is happening with my blood sugars. I did a urine test last night on one of the test strips, all was ok apart from glucose again which read 100 (5.5) which is slightly over the normal range. So there is glucose in my urine but not excessive amounts. From reading further there should be no trace of glucose at all in the urine. [/QUOTE]
