Does anyone feel like the constant tests and appointments makes them feel worse?

Hi all, it's been 1 year since being floxed and I feel like the whole year has been filled with either googling symptoms, going to appointments and tests or just dreading them.

I know I have more MRIs coming up which I think they will suggest gadolinium contrast which I have read the different experiences with that. I will most likely say no to the contrast if I am able to as I assume they will allow it without contrast but I hate having to sit there for hours worrying about if the next test/appointment or suggested medication may make things worse either mentally or physically.

I have had issues with other medication before whilst also struggling with anxiety surrounding health. Ironically I did read this sub before taking Ciprofloxacin and decided that the benefits outweigh the potential side effects. I really wish at this point I wasn't so anxious about anything health related as this experience has definitely made some aspects a lot worse.

At this stage, it feels like for me personally it would be better to just not have any more tests as I don't know how much more of them I can deal with, especially as 9/10 of times the results have been clear.
