Hi, have been 'lurking' recently as my HA has been a little bit more in control - that is, until I get a new symptom to add to the others, such as now! Sat here at work with the most awful itchy palms. This has happened once before ages ago and didn't do it again. Isn't this liver related? I had a pregnant friend a while ago who had it really bad and it was some liver problem you can get when pregnant and I googled last time and it said it was a sign of liver problems. When I had an ultrasound last year on my abdomen, they said I had a bit of fatty liver so could it have got to the stage where it is now an illness in itself??? Just also read a previous post on this when searching and somebody mentioned it could also be a sign of lymphoma.
My problem is that I can't bring myself to go to the Dr's, unlike some with HA who go as soon as they get a symptom as the fear won't let me. I've not been right since I started this new job after I was made redundant in November.... I was so worn out with worry that I've had chest pain (A&E and an ecg/bloods said heart was fine but then read on here that it's not a decent enough indicator), feeling as if these long days typing are too much now I'm 57 maybe but others manage to do it. Fear of some awful illness lurking in the background that I'm too scared to find out about and fear of tests - if I go to Dr's with chest pains, I'll end up with an angiogram or those horrible heart scans. Now I've got liver fears.... Don't feel particularly stressed out, just constantly worried about my health and feel that at 57 now, everything is going to be something serious or life threatening....:weep:
