Over the past four weeks I've have visited my GP twice, a&e twice, had an HIV test, three blood tests, three urine cultures and a stool sample submitted.
I was diagnosed with a UTI by my GP and an a&e doctor and took a course of anti-biotics, however, I am still having pain in the lower right area of my abdomen.
I saw my GP on Friday who ordered a full blood test, stool sample and urine culture which I am still waiting on the results for - she also ordered me a scan but didn't explain why just said she needs to 'rule everything out' before she can say my pains are stress-related.
But my symptoms have gotten worse and worse: I have lower right abdo pains almost constantly, I have a 'morning rush' and my stools are different but loose everytime, incomplete BMs and now I'm bloated.
I thought I had bowel cancer or a blockage in my bowel but now I'm convinced I have ovarian cancer (I have all the symptoms bar being off food and I'm just waiting for a diagnosis - I am so scared - but my boyfriend, family and friends just keep telling me the symptoms are consistant with anxiety because I've been wound up for weeks and my GP and doctors I've seen seem really unconcerned.
My anxiety 'kicked' off due to me googling my UTI symptoms.
A bit of background ... just before my anxiety developed I moved to London, started a new job, moved into a house share and was doing exams for the first month.
I just want to be clear of all these scary illnesses - I can barely sleep, I cry all the time and I have so little interest in anything other than dwelling on my symptoms.
Has anyone else had similar symptoms with a positive outcome?? I can't deal with this anymore.
