i’m unsure if this type of thread which is more venty and seeking reassurance is allowed, but my family are sick of listening to me and i’m really struggling.
i’m genuinley worried i have a serious illness, i’ve just constantly got symptoms and i don’t understand how none can mean anything. apologies for tmi but for probably over a month now my stool has been little pellets which i didn’t think much of until i realised this probably isn’t normal for such a length of time, and of course dr google agrees! it’s normal occasionally but states cancer as a reason for it lasting longer than two weeks, of course. also for over a week now my big toes have felt different, very hard to explain, it’s as if they are hypersensitive, so i’m worried i have nerve damage. to add to this is the tiny red dots all over my body, the swollen lymph node(s) under my arm for nearly two months which i have a thread on, as well as tmj in one side of my jaw also with a swollen node. i’m on holiday right now and won’t be back for over a week but i’m going to discuss all this with my doctor then but i’ve convinced myself i’ll get told i have cancer that’s spread everywhere, i’m only 17 but i’m terrified. i really need some kind of reassurance to keep me going for the next week, i honestly can’t see what else can explain everything that’s going on, i just feel at such a loss constantly picking up on symptoms and them all adding up.
