Hi there,
I found this excellent site while googling more of my symptoms.
So far I have thought I had MS which actually turned out to be Vit B12 deficiency, then I thought I had skin cancer which turned out to be mild eczema.
Two weeks ago I noticed my tummy was bloated, had alternate constipation / diarrhoea, and pains in my back. I googled the symptoms and ovarian cancer came up, which scared the life out of me. Went to see my GP who examined me, told me it was most likely to be IBS but as a precaution he sent me for a whole load of blood tests - these thankfully all came back normal. I was still worried though and went to see a different GP who tried to reassure me. She tested my urine and an infection showed up with traces of blood in my pee. She gave me a course of strong antibiotics which I finish today, and I have to have my pee checked again tomorrow.
I have been to A&E with my back pain as on thursday I thought I was having a heart attack- I had awful stabbing burning pains in my back and round to my chest and couldnt't breathe- I had an ECG, heart trace , more blood tests, and a chest Xray- all of which were completely normal. The dr said the pains in my back are probably just due to a muscular tear / strain and that my symptoms were down to a severe panic attack.
Even after all this reassurance, I still worry that I have cancer or some other severe terminal illness, that the doctors have missed it and that I will die early- I'm 38 with a wonderful husband and great kids, my youngest is only 4. I was hysterical the other day as I'm convinced I'm going to die and that the kids won't remember me.
Can anyone identify with what I'm going through. I really hate these horrible feelings. Thank you xx
