Ever since I was a teenager I was afraid of something.
My life has been like this:
Stomach pains = pretty sure it’s cancer (it wasn’t, it was a stomach lining issue)
Migraines that got a bit worse with age = pretty sure it’s cancer (it’s not, it’s aura migraines).
Heartburn/weird pains = pretty sure it’s heart failure (it wasn’t ... it’s gallstones).
Painful periods = positive it’s ovarian or cervical cancer (it’s a cyst).
Recently I’ve been getting lower stomach pains, and though I know I have a cyst and gallstones I’m still convinced this is going to be my last Christmas ever. I mean logically it probably won’t be because for the past 15-20 years I’ve been constantly “dying” of something.
I went to the ER last week for chest pains - which was gallbladder related. He did blood work and said to me that it wasn’t my heart but my kindey enzymes were a bit elevated as was the protein in my blood. He said it’s most likely related to my gallbladder and I need to stop procrastinating and get it taken out ...
Since then I’ve convinced myself that my kidney/protein is out of whack because the pains in my ovary-area is actually cancer throwing my system off balance ... again, I logically know this is unlikely which makes this so much more frustrating.
It’s exhausting to continuously feel relief from a positive diagnoses only to turn around and find something else to worry about the next day.
