  1. I have a problem with my vision, My nose and part of my eye
    sockets, are more noticeable than they should be. I don't
    know what the cause of this is, or what exactly you could
    name this problem. But I thought my eyes must be turning
    inward slightly or something. but I don't have double vision
    and went to a optomeritist who said my vision was fine and I
    wasn't crosseyed or anything. I have depression, often have
    suicidal thoughts, and have social anxiety. So I really
    would like help in solving this problem please. It is
    extremely annoying to see my nose and sides of eye socket's
    like this, I am definetley not imagining it. I don't know
    what has caused
    it. I haven't had it all my life. It's really really
    upsetting me, I need to fix it, Please tell me what
    this is, what's caused it and what i can do to correct
    it. Someone on a previous google groups post suggested
    it could be the below: "Thyroid disorder, pituitary
    disorders, depression, acromegaly, obsessive
    compulsive disorders and other general health problems
    can cause you to become anxious about and abnormally
    aware of otherwise normal things like seeing the side
    of your nose."

    But please add your comments. Thanks.

    Think you've answered your question perfectly by yourself.
    Do have the same problem with my vision every once in a
    while though... it goes away in the same miraculous way it
    came So you're not the only one. But you knew that
    already....

  7. Help me please.

  8. Not having seen you, your nose, or your eye sockets, I'd
    be inclined to speculate that there is nothing wrong with
    your nose or eye sockets, but that for some reason you are
    noticing features in your visual field that previously
    were there but didn't catch your attention before. The
    quote you provide sounds like a reasonable description. I
    think I'd recommend seeing an endocrinologist to get your
    thyroid checked out, then (if your thyroid is fine) a
    psychiatrist to investigate whether or not you have OCD or
    other disorder.

    Have you been diagnosed with a thyroid problem, or do you
    have symptoms of a thyroid problem? Sorry, but being new in

  10. I'm really scared about going to the doctor, partly because of the
    social anxeity, and also because I'm afraid he'll laugh at me or I'll
    feel stupid explaining this problem to him... :-(

    I know where you're coming from about being obsessed with
    physical features, because I have been there as well. For
    example, so far I've thought I've had cancer (twice in one
    place, once in another), curvature of the spine, tinitus, I
    am obsessed with my face and always look in the mirror. This
    goes beyond vanity, and into the land of obsession. A short
    time ago, I accidentally cut my eyebrow open and didn't go
    to the hospital. This meant that I didn't get the butterfly
    stitches on in time and the wound had already started
    healing. This was the most *intense* misery of my life as I
    thought there'd be a scar there, and everyone who saw me
    from then on would know I had a scar. Now, 4 months later,
    it's just a tiny little scar that isn't even noticable.

    I also have extreme social anxiety, paranoia and suicidal
    feelings, and when I'm in a group I just never say anything.
    When I went to the doctor with my problems, I think he
    thought, I was not exactly stupid, but didn't find them
    nearly as worrying as I did. If you went to a doctor I can't
    say whether he'd laugh or not, any decent doctor wouldn't,
    but I just wanted to say that I know where you're coming
    from about being obsessed with things.

  12. Wow!

    There are a few ailments that cause varied profound CNS
    problems and peripheral neuropathies... One of these seems
    to be rather stealthy and usually misdiagnosed, gluten
    sensitivity.

    Try looking at uchospitals.edu20030210
    celiac.php

    followed by enterolab.comenterolab.com for a sensitive lab
    test.

    At least you might rule out this rather elusive possibility.
    Few doctors are really up on this disorder, and have been
    mis-diagnosing it for a long time in the US.

  13. I realize this sounds kind of silly, but don't worry about
    it. Your doctor has seen more makes and models of body than
    you can shake a stick at. He's dealt with serious things,
    and some too minor to treat. He's patients who insist that
    they are healthy, and those who are positive that they are
    on death's doorstep. A few of each were correct, many
    weren't. In the event that you are wildly wrong, and your
    ideas are completely off base, at worse you would be a
    temporary amusement to him.

    While you might feel a bit stupid trying to explain
    something to him, that "window of stupidity" lasts only
    about 15 minutes, after which he moves onto the next patient
    who possibly has even wilder claims than your own. He
    doesn't cogitate your condition for the next week or two. He
    can't talk about it with anyone. He looks at your problems,
    tries to fix them, and moves on to the next patient. All
    this happens in a little cubicle, with no cameras, no
    microphone, and no neighbors to laugh.

    If you have social anxiety, tell him. He can fix it or
    help fix it. You aren't the first person to have it, and
    you won't be the last. There is a fairly good drug
    industry depending upon you and a million other folks with
    the problem.

    Consider having a friend or relative go with you for
    support. They probably can't go into the exam room with
    you, but at least they will help you with the waiting
    room jitters.

    Try writing it out. Be as succinct as possible. That way,
    your anxiety will not get in the way of your description.

    Don't be scared... if anything be infuriated by the apparent
    lack of training doctors receive in dealing with mental
    health issues.

    I had to go to five different doctors before I could find
    one that thought I had a treatable condition. This doesn't
    seem to be an unusual experience.

    Back when I finally broke down and went to a doctor for help
    I was so screwed up I could barely move, lift my arms, or
    concentrate on anything.

    What was the great medical treatment that was suggested by
    the first doc I went to?: Give it six months, you'll
    probably feel better by then.

    I wouldn't have made it six months.
