Hi all, im new to this forum :) sorry if I waffle on but here's my story!..
I've always suffered from bad periods but just to be on he safe side the doc put me in for a laparoscopy to check for endo ect.. that was in October!.. so I recovered from that and 2 weeks later I was really poorly chest pains, stomach pains, throwing up a lot, pains in arms and legs which I was sent for a endoscopy and colonoscopy which showed I had gastritis so that explains the chest/stomach pains and throwing up!.. now i'm not sure if that's where this all started having those pains panicking and then developing the rest from being anxious!.. I've also had blood tests for thyroid, CBC, Calcium, Vit D, Cortisol, celiac and probably more (as ive had so many) but can't remember the only one which was low was my Vit d but I have raised it back up now!.. now my physical symptoms are: (even when I'm not feeling anxious)
Headaches
Sore Scalp
constant blurred/off vision
pains in arms/legs almost feels like bone pain????
throbbing pain in arms/legs
skin feels bruised when pressed
shoulder, neck pain
joint pain
fast heartbeat
I am a stay at home mum in a village who doesn't drive and my partner works long hours so I am at home a lot with my 2 year old since being like this haven't been seeing my friends much. so is this anxiety/depression? I don't feel depressed but certainly feel anxious about my health all the time!!.. i'm on citalopram only 10mg maybe I need a higher dose?!..
to top all this off I have found a lump in my left breast been to have it checked out and have been referred to have an ultrasound on it (only waited 2 months for the app to come through :/ its in 2 weeks time) last week I found out my auntie has just been diagnosed with breast cancer and it has spread to her organs she only has a few months to live! :( my health anxiety has gone through the roof since then.. I constantly feel sick and feel my lump! breast cancer doesn't run in the family my auntie is the first and she's 65 im 26!.. but I can't help fear the worst.. im soooo scared!! :( :( as having bone pain I fear that I have breast cancer and its spread to my bones!!
I would love to have someone to talk to who is going through similar???
thanks for reading I know its long and boring lol.. :) :) :)
