Hi there
I'm new to forums etc but feel I need to talk to others/get advice and support from others that feel the same as I do.
Let me start from the beginning as to how my health anxiety started -
I had a smear test which came back inconclusive and that sent me into total worry especially as they wouldn't repeat it for 3 months, I was convinced I had cancer because of this turns the nurse had used an out of date swap stick/tube hence it had to be redone.
To make matters worse and heighten the anxiety bought on by this during my 3 month wait I lost my best friend in the world my nan to this day I still struggle with losing her. After this ever ache pain symptom I get I panic and worry that it's the dreaded 'c' and I can't seem to shift that way if thinking I kept taking myself to a and e and to the doctors wheee I saw various docs who said I was being silly but when I finally saw my own gp he said ah straight away and had been supportive and listens to me
I had a suspected pe last year which sent my anxiety sky high but I felt I knew I was doing it and worrying so got over that flare up in a shorter time
This oe I had a c section 6 weeks ago, lost 2100ml of blood and since I've had pains in my shoulders arms legs groin had a full blood test last week all was normal except a slightly raised crp level which the doc reckons is probably an infection so am on anti biotics but silly me googled yet again. And bought up c again so now every ache and pain I have I'm convinced I have it
Any support or words of wisdom to help would really be appreciated as this is making my life hell
Also the doc suspects I may have fybromyalgia but not diagnosed yet
