Hi there
I am new to this forum, although I have read a lot of your posts in the past couple of weeks.
I am constantly working myself up into a state as I am convinced I have got some life-threatening disease. I have done as a lot of you ahve done and googled my symptoms and so far I have had ALS, Motor nuron disease, MS, a brain tumour, Lukemia, Diabetes, HIV, cancer, the list goes on.
This all started for me I think about four years ago when I was diagnosed with gallstones and the drs failed to spot it, even though a friend had already suggested it to me. After this, every time I get ill, even slightly, I seem to blow things out of proportion and believe I am dying.
Recently I started getting skipped heart beats and went to my Dr who said he thought it was anxiety. I naturally didn't beleive him as he had been wrong before. I proceeded to see another Dr who sent me for some blood tests for anaemia and thyroid. They were clear, as was my ECG and my cardio memo.
The skipped beats have died down only to be replaced with a myriad of other things.
I daily suffer with extreem tiredness, twitching, buzzing, a burning tongue, pains in my head and eyes, leg cramps, indigestion, tingling in my hands and arms.
I am so fed up of feeling like this and am driving myself silly over it. I keep trying to tell myself that the raft of blood tests I have had - FBC, thyroid, LFTs (I'm paranoid about my liver being bad) - should have shown uip an abnormaility if there was something wrong. But could they have missed anything?
Some days I feel like I am going mad!
