i dont even know where to start. it all began with opening my mouth in the bathroom mirror when brushing my teeth, i saw a couple bumps in the back of my throat and flipped out and now out of nowhere i have developed extreme health anxiety for the past month ive been scared of lymphoma, the month before that it was a brain tumor, and now its leukemia, ive been coming to this site in these past months to see if other people have my issues, and it only gets worse every new symptom i read i have when i supposedly had a brain tumor i had headaches trouble walking and when i was scared of lymphoma i had swollen lymph nodes (which i still have) headaches, and abdominal pain, and now im scared of this new disease its just a new one every month. :( when i first found a lump i pretty much fainted good thing there was a couch behind me, but my symptoms are swollen lymph nodes, joint pain in elbows and arms, the thing about this is it scares me because its a leading symptom but also have bad posture so i dont know i its from cancer i get pain in my back shoulders wrists upper arms i have pain in my armpits and ribs and i can never tell if its terminal or not its tearing me apart which probably makes it worse im always depressed and i occasionally break down and the depression probably increases the symptoms which makes me think they are more believable, I dont know i just one a another opinion this is killing me and it has my mother scared since im up at 4 am texting her im going to die, its horrible but i cant help it and i have a doctors appointment on the 8th of October im just tired of this i also orgot to mention i have acid reflux whixh gets bad and that makes me think back to lymphoma or leukemia. i also find bruises and i dont know where they come from they are usually small and seam to disappear but i get them on my knees and elbows id just like a little insight to get me through the week before i go to the doctor's
