anxiety/ panic attacks about anything dealing with my health. When I do go to Kaiser, they have always treated me with great kindness and understanding (nurses are angels). They have been pretty thorough addressing any concerns or health issues, but testing or exploratory procedures seem to be a huge part of things. I understand, up to a point but geez. By they time they get done with the scans, etc I am nothing but a huge basket case. I make a joke about it and say "Hey, I was a teacher for 38 years and I don't like flunking any kind of test", but it's really not funny. It's a major source of stress. Even getting my blood work done is stressful. I have no problem with the actual withdrawing of the blood etc. It's when the results start coming in over my phone...Beep Beep Beep every five minutes. I freak out and then when I look at the results I get all upset if any of the numbers aren't perfect. All this and I actually am pretty darn healthy for a 60 something. Well...There ya are. I just shared my nuttiness with you!
