Hi There,
I've been doing so well, along woth CBT and citopoplam my anxiety has been kept nicely at bay.
Unluckily for me it has raised it's ugly head for the past 2 weeks. I noticed a bump towards the back of my hard palate around an inch from my back teeth. it feels hard and is around 20mm, I have a slightly smaller one on the other side in the same location . I have proded and picked at the larger one (gross I know) so much that I ulcerated it. My dentist had a glance and said that if it doesnt go by next week she'll refer me to someone...
I can still feel both lumps very clearly and am not sure if it's always been there or is a recent thing.
My ask isn't technically reassurance (although i'd be very interested to hear whether or not anyone else has experienced it) it's more to ask people out there with HA how they cope when they find lumps and bumps...I seem to do well when I have no symptoms but as soon as I find anything my mind goes into over drive.
I'm gutted as the meds seemed to be working so well (10mg)
I just feel like I'm back to sqaure 1 :weep:
