I've had enough of HA and all my symptoms and all my fears. It never stops, just as I find out one thing is OK I get more symptoms of something else, sometimes several things at once, I'm never OK and feel like I never will be.
I went to the doctor last year with night sweats - he ordered a chest and abdo and pelvic CT these came back with fluid round my heart and a lump on my liver, an echo and an abdo ultrasound later found my heart to be ok the cardiologist said the fluid around my heart was so small so it didn't concern him as this just happened sometimes so he told me he didn't need to see me anymore. The lump on my liver was most likely a hemangioma. However, I didn't like the 'most likely' so they repeated the scan after four months, it hadn't grown and they still thought it was a hemangioma so that's been put to rest. But i still have the night sweats. Also I got what looked like an infection in my belly button so was given antibiotics for that, turned out it was an irritation from the ultrasound gel, but the antibiotics gave me thrush. I treated the thrush but it didn't seem to go so my gynaecologist is looking into that and I'm still waiting for results. Anyway the night sweats, So I was sent to a gynaecologist who told me it was unlikely to be hormonal as all my hormone bloods were fine even though I'm getting periods every three weeks and the last one lasted 11 days, so he wanted a pelvic ultrasound which I had. This showed that my endometrium was thicker than it should be but he said it was still just within normal limits, but I have to go back in six months when I may have to have a biopsy of my uterus to check for cancer. My latest period started and stopped within a day so my fear of the thickened endometrium and endometrial hyperplasia is consuming me now.
It feels like it's never going to end and I still have no explanation of the night sweats :( I've had enough.
