Ok, so I'm thinking this lump in my throat/feeling in my chest that I've had that I've been thinking was reflux due to my change to a high protein diet is..............da da da daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

HIGH ANXIETY about surgery next week.  I took 1MG of Xanax this morning and no longer have the lump/chest feeling.  If it comes back and I try that again, then I think I've pinned down the issue.

Has anyone else had such stress/anxiety that it gives you physical isses like that?

Thank you again for all your support the past few days.

Anxiety.

And if the twit of a PCP would have stopped, listened, and really gave a rip about coaching you for your surgery, then perhaps you wouldn't have thought it was reflux.

Always blame the twit!  :)

See you Saturday.

Sorry you have having such anxiety about your upcoming surgery. But, I'm glad that you have a solution to your issue at least for now. I sure hope it stays that way!!

I did not have any anxiety but, just nerve.

I believe that you will be happy once this is all said and done. I sure wish you the best.

Hope to see you at coffee on Saturday!

Best wishes.
God Bless, Angela

Sweetie!  I'm so glad that the lump is JUST a stress reaction!   

Me? I get killer headaches. Not fun.

Kristy,

Smart thinking, yes anxiety can often manifest itself in physical symptoms, so good for you for thinking outside the box and taking the Xanax.  I actually was not all that nervous about my surgery, but you know what I didn't have a little girl and a husband at the time either. Everything is going to be fine.  You will come through it and start melting before you know it! 

I am so excited for you and I am staying in the metro area for Thanksgiving so no rush on my visist next Wednesday night after work.

Many Hugs! 
If you need to talk email or call me!

Nicole
