Worried frazzled and concerned

[secrets22]

Three times i have been called back by the doctor for blood and urine samples in the space of a week, they have not yet given any indication of what's wrong with me, and consequently i fear the worst.

I broke my shoulder two years ago and the pain is back with a vengeance and i feel so weak,so just maybe that might have something to do with it,and i do carry on working despite the pain,

The past 13 years i have gone through so much, juggling work and caring for my partner for 10 of those years, and its now taken its toll big time.😢

I am one of these people who never lets things beat me, but now reluctantly i do feel beaten.

I did have a strong faith, but even that seems to have deserted me. 🥵

I don’t know….sounds like it’s time you started asking questions about the testing. Not knowing can be very upsetting to say the least. And maybe back to the docs about your shoulder. More questions to ask. It’s hard when you’re feeling bad and don’t have anybody to lean on and can give you moral support. Those thoughts of giving it up hit us when we’re tired…physically and mentally. I know, cuz my circumstances bring me there. Stuff starts piling up when we neglect them cuz we’re overwhelmed and what helps me is to take one issue at a time. That’s one victory and you move on to the next issue. Health is top priority….the rest can wait until we get to it. 🏄‍♀️🍀

Hi secrets22, "Isinatra" is right in that what we fear can be draining on our

mind and body more than what they find. Anticipational Anxiety can wear us

down faster than dealing with the issue at hand. Time to be your own Advocate

and ask questions and get answers.

I read in your Bio that you have Fibro (so do I). Fibro plays hard with us when

our mind is stressed. It takes hold of our physical symptoms as well.

Please keep us updated with your progress. You are not alone, we are behind

you all the way. xx

Just a thought to add to Isinatra's reply. Maybe they have to re do the tests as they lost the sample or messed it up? It's happened to me before. Or maybe forgot to request a particular test along with the others? There could be a simple reason, but when you're not told anything, it's human nature to fear the worst. I know I 'd be the same, so I understand that you are worried.

As Isinatra says, maybe it is time to ask questions. And yes, definitely get the shoulder checked out , so you can get help and pain relief

Sending you hugs 🤗🤗🤗

hello MadBunny, i do think all the 'not knowing' causes undue anxiety. Thankyou.

When you go back for your tests explain to the nurse you are terrified and tell her why and hopefully she can put you at ease.

Its probably something silly like the blood sample was inadequate so they couldn't read it at the lab rather than anything nasty.

How are the dogs getting on?

Baby is driving us mad with meows about the heat!

Back in March I went for a blood test and at the start of May got a message saying it had to be repeated and I was terrified as well!

I did go back and get it redone and said to the nurse how I was terrified and explained why and she said how when things need to be repeated it's due to problems at the lab and how if something really was wrong they contact you straight away!
