I have been here before, so I'm not new, but I have been quiet for quite a while.
My main problems are fibromylitis for 9 years, heart failure with heart valve problems diagnosed after an A&E admission for breathlessness coughing and a left bundle branch block - which is caused by high bp and heart valve problems. I am out of moderate heart failure to near normal working heart, but still on meds and must be aware that I may become breathless and need a new heart valve quickly. Also I may need new heart valve in 4 yrs, when I see my cardiologist again!
I feel overwhelmed and embarressed by all the different health problems I have and all the visits to my GP and the hospital referrals to different departments. I was retired from work about 9 years ago as I had been off sick so much, but I have a pension from them. I also had a breast lump, which was benign removed by operation about 6 months ago. Thats fine though! Sorry to have so much to say. but I feel that I must be a hypocondriac sometimes as i watch my health so much.

There is no need to be sorry. I pray that Jesus will heal you completely. You may check the word of God for scriptures that you can confess each day along side tour medication. I strongly believe that there is nothing God cannot do
I get where ur coming from. I don't think ur a hypochondriac.. I just think that when ur have numerous medical conditions that affect u daily.. u tend to be extra vigilant on any other health issues big or small. Im kinda the same way. For me... I just need to know so I can fix it and move on, so its not like my other stuff. I totally get the overwhelmed and embarrassed... that's me 1000 percent. I almost feel like that's all I ever talk about when I do talk... my crappy health. I think its because my crappy health is my life 24/7.. and consumes it. What I do to get myself out of my own head is... I find humor... anywhere... whether others get it or not. Find something that takes u out of where ur at... it helps!! Sending a hug!
Thank you for your replies, they are very kind. I am lucky in lots of ways, I know. I do have going to my GP and the hospital, but its not that they make me feel that way - quite the opposite.
some days are fine, but others are not so good, but I am a bit better at coping on bad days now.
I have not been on here for a while, as I have been sorting out a problem for a family member, for whom I hold power of attorney. At least its taken my mind off my own problems!
