Hi all!
I know this is a silly worry and its so, so rare especially since I'm only 20 and live in the US. But for the past three and a half weeks I've been worried I have mad cow. The only symptom I have is a feeling of being unattached from reality. A feeling of being "out of it" kind of like what I've heard described as "derealization" or "depersonalization", like I'm going crazy :(. Its really scary but I've read its from anxiety.
I have no neurological symptoms but I heard it can take a bit for them to appear :/. So I've been waiting and worrying just trying to ride it out for a month or two when time can tell me I'm fine :(. But its already almost been a month, with no neurological symptoms does that mean its not mad cow? All the documentation and symptoms described on the CDC for mad cow are so vague so that doesn't help a budding hypochondriac :/.
I'm so worried can someone help?
Thank you for taking the time to read this :)
