HEALTH ANXIETY SELF HELP SOLUTIONS
I suffer with health anxiety. I have suffered for the past two years, it started following the sudden death of my mother from Lymphoma. In the past I have believed that I have throat cancer, lung cancer, heart problems and currently I worry that I have lymphoma myself. I find myself worrying every day

Following my last post when my blood results in February were still good, I unfortunately developed a chest infection with persistent cough that turned into Pneumonia. I was hospitalised at the beginning of April and they drained a litre of fluid from my lung and discovered a tumour on it. I then had

Is this usual for others treatment from gp without seeing you
Went for my blood check as I am on methotrexate said I felt unwell and thought I had a chest infection. The nurse did not check me out physically or listen to my chest just said she would talk to the gp. Was prescribed antibiotics without any exam or conversation with the gp. Just a message via receptionist

Finally a step forward!
My Rheumy just called to let me know the neurologist has (finally) said my brain splots are nothing to do with Humira but doesn't want me to go back on it as I wasn't well at all when I took it - huge flare up and other side effects like fainting. I have a fridge full of the stuff (wonder if I could

Really struggling. I am totally lost. Help!
Or, then again, maybe I am just too impatient. The story so far is this. I have no thyroid - removed surgically after Graves' and then later Toxic Multinodular goitre. Many of you know my story. For 23 years, I was taking 150mcg Levothyroxine. I was OK although not in the running for the Marathon

Hi - hope someone can advise me. I have been an asthmatic all my life. Worse when i was a child and hardly any problems as an adult. Have recently had an asthma attack.. At first did not realise as it has been more than 30 years since I last had one. I thought I had a chest infection/bronchtitis.

Shadows on both lungs
Hi I am new to this site and would like to ask the sites advice. In January this year my GP sent me for x ray on my chest as I was having trouble breathing and in pain when I breathed, pain was central and to the side and back of the chest. X ray result showed shadows at the bottom of both lungs.

Can small (but frequent) doses of codeine cause asthma to become COPD ?
Hi everyone, Over a period of many years, I've had regular bouts of severe migraine which have been relieved only by taking Paracetal and Codeine in tablet form (over the Pharmacy counter). My asthma has been slowly worsening over the past 2 years. After a recent bad spell with a severe and hard
