Hi all,
I would firstly like to say that this forum has brought me lots of reaasurance on and off over the past few years.
My HA started 6 years ago when a close family friend passed away, I remember being sat at my mums and finding a lump in my neck, then felt around until i felt another and another! :( I obsessed over the internet about all the possible things it could be and thought the worst!
went to the docs many times and after much persistence he sent me for blood tests and xrays, they were all found to be normal...i then obsessed over headaches (brain tumours), bruises (leaukemia), aches (bone cancer) etc etc the list is endless.
I finally managed to out my HA aside and get on with my life after 2 years of constant worrying and doctors visits.
However two weeks ago i got a cold that wont shift started feeling for lumps, bumps etc, the same lumps are still there after 6 years no change and know its all i can think about, i dont know what trigerred me off after all this time getting on with things, now i feel like i am in a constant state of worry i cannot think about anything else, Im obsessing over every symtpom!
How do i deal with this? I am going insane my hubbys getting annoyed at having to give me constant reaasurance :( I wish i knew what set me off again after not worryong for a few years :(
Thanks for reading sorry to babble on xxx
