Hi everyone I have a long history of health anxiety and generalized anxiety.
ugh where do I begin. I've been having a good couple months, everything was dandy. Recently i've been hit with a feeling of fatigue and general malaise, my bones crack all the time. I just feel like total crap, sometimes my joints hurt. I wake up feeling so stiff I don't want to get up in the morning, I'm only 21!
i've been doing research into it and all my symptoms match Rheumatoid Arthritis. My grampa has and my great aunt also had it, I know i'm in a smaller demographic to get it cause I'm young and male, but it just seems like I can't have anything else.
i've felt this way before in the past, and eventually it'll go away after a few months, only to reappear? I feel like maybe I have times of remission from it?
I got a full blood test probably about a year ago, when I was feeling this way and it was all clear, but I'm booking an appointment tomorrow with my doctor to get everything checked again, get my rheumatoid factor checked and my SED rate checked, I'm just sure I have it, the worst part apparently it can cause swelling around your heart and lungs... I'm screwed.
Please help me, is there anyone out there with hypochondria or general anxiety that feels super stiff and achey when they wake that doesn't change through the day and just a general sense of malaise, like you've got the flu? ughhhhhh
