thasnk you insurance cmpany for giving me a panic attack

since im sitting here i figured i vent a little bit..so i call my insurance company today about a bill i needed to get taken care of and the guy looking up my info says so how long have you had the disease myositits..not knowing what the hell this guy was talkin about i had a panic attack right on the phone..then i call my doctors pretty much freaked out, thinking they neglected to tell me i had this when i had my blood work done, then it took them about 20 min to find all the info..then they tell me that they just told the insurance company i had it, cause they had to put something down as a reason for giving me all the tests..well i kinda understand..but as someone who has anxiety the last thing i need is to call the insurance company only for them to ask me if i had this disease before or after i went to the doctor, so right now as i sit here even though the doctors office and lab assure me i don't actually have this problem i cant stop thinking about it.. and it doesn't help that i have been thinking i have lymphoma cause of a hard lymphoid under my ear..god i wish i could just get my life back to how it was when i didn't analyze or even think about every ache and pain as if it was a sign of impending doom

If I didn't understand exactly how terrifying that situation would be, I would be temped to laugh at the utter ineptitude on display by your doctor / insurance company. Best wishes, man.

Well, that just *****!  Jeez...where have all their brains gone?

I really don't see why they had to "put something down as a reason" to have the blood work done???They can't just give you a diagnosis that is fake for crying out loud, and get YOU in trouble with the insurance company , LET ALONE scare the hell out of you!

As for your obsessions with bodily symptoms the only thing that works is to make the brain learn something ELSE than being obsessed with "every ache and pain as if it was a sign of impending doom", as you yourself so colourfully expressed it!(he he) Buuuut... I wasn't saying that it's easy :)
