Hello all, I'm Dom, 30, originally from the North East in the UK.
New around here, want to help people suffering from anxiety and health anxiety, as well as get a little bit of support myself! Nice to meet you all.
So since the tail end of last year, I've been feeling particularly unwell and compounded to this I received some bad news that my father was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease and is predicted to have 5-10 years to live.
I'm not sure if my physical symptoms are anxiety, or anxiety induced by physical symptoms. I have a great situation, my job, family and friends are brilliant, yet I can't help myself thinking about my health, I can't look forward into the future and feel positive about it. I've been suffering from a long list of symptoms since the end of last year and want a bit of support or to chat to someone who has gone through a similar situation.
Previously have had:
– Numbness / coldness in my hands and feet
– Insomnia
– Neck aches
– Hot flushes in legs
– 1 month of GERD and bloating
– Sharp pains in the face
– Panic Attacks where I can't move for a few minutes
– Foot pain when walking
– Seem to have lost weight round my ribs
I now have:
– Blurry vision with floaters
– Shin pains when running
– Pressure feeling in legs
– Spasms in my calves
– Fatigue (not as bad as previous) don't feel fresh at any point during the day
– Depression
– Irritability
– Lower back pain
– Occasional chest pain
– Occasional pain just under my armpits
I've had the following tests
– Eyes are fine – floaters acknowledges
– Blood tests for various things, diabetes, thyroid etc all fine
– Urine test, fine as well
– Getting a chest X-Ray soon
Has anyone else been through this, I'd appreciate some support and an support anyone who's going through something similar?
