Hi all, I'm sure this question has been asked many times but, can you still be really ill and have normal blood tests results. I have been visiting doctor almost weekly for 5 months with ongoing health concerns have had numerous blood tests, all normal. Doctor thinks I'm relatively healthy, yet I'm currently struggling and told him that I think I have cancer ,bowel, liver, ongoing brain tumour worries (even though mri scan clear) G.P has referred me to CBT, but at the same time I can't help thinking that blood tests don't show everything and that I could be really ill. My G.P who is obviously at his wits end ,has referred me for ultrasounds and to a bowel specialist. I am driving my family mad and feel unable to move on from all this, am now in my sixth week off from work. How come I feel so ill all the time! Thanks for listening.

I have all normal blood tests. have had endoscopy, colonoscopy, uterus scans, ECG all normal. I don't worry about those things so much now because I know that my symptoms are all symptoms of anxiety and yes it makes you feel very ill. I think the cbt will help you, Trust your doctor and take the reassurance from him that it is the anxiety causing those feelings and not something more sinister, if you can accept that you will start to feel better. :hugs:
