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....

Please help.

Help me please.

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.

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.

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 http://www.uchospitals.edu/news/2003/20030210-celiac.php

followed by http://www.enterolab.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.

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.
