Hi,
For those who have read my threads of late, I had a lump on my neck, which was worrying me.
As I was worrying about my neck, I had not other disabling symptoms.
Well, Yesterday I managed to get in at the surgery to see my doctor.
He checked out my concerns (moles and a lump, which I have on my neck).
He said they were all fine, which I was so delighted and I went away very happy.
The doctor asked me how my main symptoms were (headaches and frequent urination).
I told him they were ok and that I'm managing to cope, which was how I felt yesterday, no headache or no frequent urination.
I woke up this morning (6am), with a horrid headache, felt like the ones I had years ago, which were 24/7.
Why is this?
Is it because I had nothing else to worry about and my brain has focused on the headaches again?
Is it something serious?
I feel ashamed and very, very down because yesterday I told my doctor I was ok (as I was 100% fine).
I surely can not go running back after just telling him I was ok, would feel like I'm after attention of some kind.
I'm on 50mg of amitriptyline, which was originally for the headaches, but even this is not taking the pain away.
These headaches are my worst symptom of anxiety (if it is), make me have negative thoughts about living.
About 3 years ago, I had an MRI and Lumber puncture tests for these headaches, which all came back normal.
Can something of appearde since then?
I have had the headaches on and off, they do seem to go, when I'm worrying about something else with the body.
Any advise or reassurance please because I just don't know what to do, it's like having one symptom after another, without a break?
