So I feel a bit silly making this post when I only made one yesterday, but it seems feeling silly is a common theme around here for many of us so at least I’m not alone.
I’ve been referred for a blood test and scan on my neck re: a small lump there, possibly to do with my thyroid or lymphnodes, which is apparently routine -of course, I don't believe the poor Doctor, which makes me feel bad :wacko:. It still freaks me the living heck out because my brain immediately thinks it’s the horrible thing, rather than any of the less harmful things.
Anyway after all the fuss of yesterday I’ve started feeling really sick/dizzy for most of the day. Especially after I’ve been in the shower (I tend to have it quite warm) or when I haven’t eaten, which happens often actually because I’m just one of those people who forgets to eat or just doesn't eat enough.
I’ve lost quite a bit of weight in the last two months (didn’t think I had any left to lose!), which the Doctor added to the list of symptoms explaining why I’m getting the blood test (I did mention that I wasn't eating properly and had no appetite and the weight loss could be to do with that, but it seems it still counts ). I dunno, maybe if you’re just not eating properly for a while you start to feel LESS hungry? :shrug:
I also get headaches – moderate, generalised across a lot of my brain but occasionally spiking in one place or another.I THINK that's what an anxiety headache feels like judging from the posts I've read here.
I’m probably asking a silly question but... who here has similar experiences with feeling sick like this? And how do you STOP it? :weep:I would rather not go five days until the blood test and then god knows how many to the scan like this! Is it anxiety plus my terrible diet getting to me?
