My latest health fear is down to having painful joints - knees, ankles and earlier today shoulders. Im convinced I have cancer.
There's always something I think I have but it's been getting worse. Now I have children I'm worried they have something awful too. My son had red stools the other day (sorry TMI) but turned out that it was the dye from strawberry jelly, was convinced he had bowel disease!
Anyhow, life hasn't been kind to me in the past two years and I know where this anxiety comes from. My dad died 18 months ago, from a heart attack, he'd had pains for years, doc said nothing - I went round to his house and found him sadly.
My mother this week has been diagnosed with cancer and has 9 - 12 months to live. She complained of aches and pains and this and that but nothing was diagnosed until she broke her hip a few weeks ago. She's just got the diagnosis.
Im now convinced I have the same thing as her, I've felt tired, sometimes thirsty, have aches and pains...can't quite believe I've turned all this on myself!!! I shouldn't be worried about myself now should I? But I can't help it... I have no faith in the world anymore. I thought when my dad died that I'd be given five years grace or something before being hit again...now I'm looking for the next problem in my life and I just can't let it go...
