So ever since my Dr asked for blood tests to check my thyroid and hormonal status back in April, I've been convincing myself I've got Leukemia and as a result I haven't been for the blood tests.
Now over the last 3 months I've had 3 colds and several mouth ulcers. All the ulcers heal within a few days but I've probably had about four or five over the course of a few months whereas sometimes I can go months and months with no ulcers.
I am so terrified this is all pointint to leukemia. The weak immune system etc.
I'm starting a 12 week course of intensive CBT today which I'm really helping me to try and rationalise this and also make me just go and have the damn blood test as I'm convinced the worry and stress I'm putting myself through is probably partly contributing to the mouth ulcers and colds.
I have also started working in an infant school and been surrounded constantly by people with colds/coughs/stomach bugs and on top of that my son has had about 4 colds at the same times so I know I'm not alone but I keeping thinking that leukemia is causing these colds and ulcers.
Does anyone else go through phases of one cold after another? They don't lead to secondary infections apart from the odd ear infection but I've already been referred to ENT as the Dr thinks I may need grommets due to my ears not draining properly.
Just wondered if anyone else has had phases of this?
