Bad day :(

[Gemma T]

Hi Everyone

Im not having a good day today. I really try and relax about my oral issues and try and accept that my dentist and gp are not worried but I cant stop the questioning and bad thoughts.

My little friend (canker sore) is still there and I still have the swelling on my soft palate. First it was the left side and now its on the right. Kind of like little bumps, seperate ones. I wake up every morning hoping they are gone and they aint. It really gets me down. I just want them to go away.

My refferal aint for weeks yet. No one has even called to schedule an appointment yet. I hate this so much I just want to cry all the time.

My mum keeps telling me ill end up being sectioned but tbh Id appreciate the brake and sedation as I dont worry when Im asleep. Sleeping is the only thing I love cause I dont think then. And I hate waking up because its the first thing on my mind and it ruins my day.

I hate feeling scared all the time.

Sometimes I just want to talk about it but I dont know where to start. And other times I hate talking about it because it reminds me of what IIm worried about.

I bloody hate this health anxiety.

Love Gem x x x

Wow, i could have just wrote what you wrote word for word.

Like i wrote on the other thread, there are 3000 new cases of oral cancer in the UK every year. A vast majority of them cases will be older people who are heavy smokers and drinkers, so if you look at it statistically you will have more chance of winning the lottery than having oral cancer.

Also i find it very strange how i can tell others how irrational they are being but i can't tell that to myself?

Yeh I do like the idea of being more likely to be rich then to have oral cancer. Although I never buy lottery tickets and I used to smoke 20 a day. Really buggers up my odds so maybe Ill use the money I used to spend on fags for lottery tickets. Ill decrease my chances of cancer and increase my chances of being rich.

I think you are my male counter part lol. God forbid there are more people like us lol

Quick cure for canker sores..I get them once or twice a year..apply direct salt to them..it burns like hell..but after a day you will see improvement.
