Hi, I was wondering if anyone can relate as I still can't understand how one life experience caused my perception to warp and almost two years later I still suffer from mainly HA but GAD too.
I spent 6 months in and out of hospital with no real answers just being sent away with antibiotics time after time claiming I had bladder and kidney infections, finally when I got admitted with expected appendicitus it turns out i have a cyst on my ovary the size of a grapefruit, the fluids ended up leaking and causing PID, basically for 6 months things kept getting worse and I was becoming more sick and noone could really tell me exactly why all these things happened.
Before all this happened I was the complete opposite of a hypocondriact, infact I would spend 2 weeks suffering with a chest infection and refuse to see a doctor or even take antibiotics convincing myself it was a cold (whilst still working crazy hours behind a bar and socialising and going out) I was extremely sociable, worked in bars and clubs for years and loved every minute of it, whereas now I couldn't think of anything worse.
I hope that one day I can get back to my normal self but for the time being I'm still in dismay that one experience can change my whole mindset. Hope to hear that Im not alone.
