While I understand this site is not for diagnosis yet for support the fact that some members get so angry with the posts made by individuals who are truly fearing OC is a bit disappointing. Obviously we are looking for help. I for one do not want to be called crazy or told that is in my head. I know that my symptoms have been all over the place. One day is a sensation in my throat. Then the ear pain starts one day in my right ear sometimes in my left. Then here comes a discomfort in my jaw also sometimes on one side of my face then the other. Next I look in my mouth and start to see what I believe is abnormal. My tongue looks weird and I would guess is called the lingual tonsil looks slightly larger on one side. I don't know what I'm looking at and possibly is just normal but it scares me. I know these symptoms go hand in hand so yes it does scare me. If so many are bothered I will not post anymore. I don't want to offend anyone. I have a legitimate fear and will continue to look for answers. When I had the scope done I thought I would be content with the ent stating she saw nothing abnormal but this did not happen because I keep feeling random pains here and there. Then i see stories that scopes are not always a good test for this diagnosis. I wish I could say that it's all in my head and they are all psychosomatic but it's hard. I have small children and do not want to hear bad news. Sorry to everyone who is actually fighting this battle. My heart goes out to you. I wish you good health and happiness always and continue to be the soldiers you are. Good bless you all.
