HI Everyone! Its Kriss again.. I dont know if you remember me I posted last week regarding not being able to go to the doctor.. I have been having the on again off again sore throats since Jan and jaw pain etc.. Im not feeling any better about getting to the doctor.. I saw my shrink last week and told him I have major anxiety but no panic attacks and he said thats because I am avoiding the panic by not going ot the doctor!! I am so deep into this I just cant stand being in my own skin anymore!! I am on different medical web sites more then ever!! I feel hopeless. My face hurts I am fit to be tied! I just placed a call into my shrink.. I also called my doctor that I havent seen in abolut 7 years and made an appointment but get this they could get me in Friday but I told them no two weeks!! I am NUTS!!!!! I am thinking I dont want the terrible news to deal with on the weekend.. I am desperate for some help! My shrink gave me three options he could give me a script for Zoloft or soemthing however explained that it would ease the anxiety but it wont be some miracle like I am so so ok to run into the doctors office and be ahppy about it.. #2 I could see a therapist that specializes in phobias. He said they are hard to find but out there or #3 he could prescribe some Xanax and just go however Xanax does nothing for me I take it at bedtime,, It just helps me sleep.. Thats all I want to do is just go under the covers and sleep thats the only time thins whole mess goes away. I feel no pain, no anxiety nothing when sleeping.. I am sorry for the long post but I am just dying inside.. I see eveyones point about just doing it but it is so hard I am stuck!!!! Now I have all of these feelings under my chin area and up the jaw like an ache.. Please someone help me.. I dont really have any friends because I dont really go out much and socialize.

I am so sorry you are having such a hard time. The good news is that you are able to make it to your therapist. I have heard of some doctors who charge a flat fee, and make house calls. It's supposedly the "new trend" in medical care. Maybe you can look into it? I know how hard it must be, and I know the feeling of wanting to shed your own skin.

I wish I could help you more, but I am not sure what the best thing to do is. I think maybe a valium or possible something a little stronger than a xanax. You need to take care of yourself. Maybe you could go to a clinic that is not as threatening as a doctor's office? Do you have any friends that are doctors?

Best of luck to you, and again, I am so sorry you are having such a hard time.

Love, JD

I was unknowingly clearing my throat alot, coughing and swallowing alot because I felt like I had a lump in my throat (a sign of anxiety).

I might try to contact the American Medical Association. There should be a local one in New Jersey. I live in Chicago, and I know there is one in the city. Find out what type of list they could give you. I know that my doctor left a huge practice to do this on his own. Maybe call some of the bigger interist practices in your area, and ask if they can reccomend anyone. Your pdoc might know some, as well.

Lots of luck to you.

HI,


I'm new here but I have been suffering the same for over 10 years. I have to post my situation under another post but I do know of a visiting doctor service depending on where you live. I have used them. They do not accept private insurance but maybe your insurance company will cover. They serve the


Monmouth, Ocean, Middlesex, Union, Essex and Somerset Counties.


Here's their web site if you want to check them out


www.visiting-physician.com


I use them and they are very nice. I live on the border of Middlesex and Monmouth County.


Good luck
