Hi everyone,
I’ve already written many posts on how I’ve been feeling for the past couple of months but it just doesn’t seem to be getting better.
My struggle with health anxiety carries on and has even reached a new low point. After suffering from many unexplained symptoms like left arm pain, overall joint pain, chest pain, upper back pain, shortness of breath, confusion, dizziness/imbalance, fatigue and so much more, I keep thinking I have some sort of serious illness like cancer. I’ve had multiple blood tests that have come back fine but have not had scans or anything as of yet.
I keep thinking I have all these cancers and am constantly checking my body for lumps, areas of pain etc. It gotten to the point now where I’m shining a torch at my stool to check for small traces of blood! (Sorry tmi, I know) Everyone around me keeps saying it’s nothing and are even starting to get angry at the fact I’m worrying too much. I agree with them too.
Right now I have a fear that I might have multiple myeloma! From my bone pain to frequent infections I’m worried I have this incurable cancer. I feel so horrible that I’m panicking over an illness from which many people suffer greatly. I truly apologise to anyone who has been through this terrible disease and wish you all the best.
I wish I could go back to my carefree ways where i’d be visiting the GP maybe twice a year instead of twice in a month as I am now. If anyone has any advice or has been through similar experiences, please feel free to comment. I want to know I’m not alone in this. Thank you
