As you know I am very anxious about starting this med but tonight I am going too do it because I have no other choice. I wanted to ask Carmie and Red and Davit and any others who took this how it went? Carmie you mentioned you took it for the lump in the throat, did it help? my glands in my neck are NOT swollen on the outside at least, this feels way way down and its pressing on a nerve going to ear, its much more painful now than it was a few days ago, and my voice is still gone, will predisone help this condition? I am trying not too read about the side effects because they are scary, it helped hearing that some of you were on it and Davit has been on it long term. How will it help my throat?? It just has too work, the Doctor said "this is all I can do for you" that was scary to hear a medical Dr say that, I mean if they cannot help that is a bad sign. I am sorry I sound so bad, the panic and depression were bad enough to endure now I am physically sick, I really thought if I took the antibotics I would get well and that did not happen, and the Dr said they will not. A month of this has dragged me down, I hope there is a answer to this and its not cancer. I am so afraid what is coming, I am sorry I am scared, I dont know where too turn??
What can you visualize your anxiety doing each time you feel it come up? You know those voices that tell you your scared, your sorry, your not going to get through it? Remind yourself each time you hear that that it's the anxiety and not you. Visualize what you would like to do to the anxiety (those voices) when they come up. Give it a name if you want. Then visualize it getting the heck out of your life. Shove it in a closet for later, kick it in the butt and tell it to go for a run or something; at least visualize it to go away for a bit so you can have a well deserved break!
