Hello
Well, I am back here :-(
I suffer periodically from HA. It goes away completely for months and months, and then comes back. Is that fairly typical? I had an Ovarian Cyst at the beginning of the year, and I convinced myself it was cancer (I am 52).
At the follow up US, it had gone away, so I was really happy..normal life resumed.
However, last Weds evening, I suddenly felt very nauseaus (I wan't worried about anything, and was out shopping --- I had to go home). Since then, my stomach has felt weird, and as soon as I start to eat, I feel uncomfortable and full. Mild nausea also comes and goes. I don't think it is anxiety, (as I wasn't in a period of HA), but a real symptom. So its been 5 days now :ohmy:
My eyes are also very sore, and weeping - swollen and I can't keep them open. And I am bruising very easily, I am almost a mass of bruises. My sides ache, as does my right calf. I generally feel rubbish.
I am so scared I have stomach cancer. I looked up the stats, and it said that less than 8,000 people a year are diagnosed in the uk each year. So I am hoping that means it isn't. I don't smoke, eat a fairly healthy diet, but there are no guarantees are there? My sister in law died of stomach cancer in her early forties.
How long should I wait before going to the doctors? So scared, so tired.
Sorry to go on, I just have no-one to talk to. :weep:
