after I posted yesterday about my itchy hands and feet I thought to myself why the heck am i doing this to myself??????????
Every little symptom--whether it be stomach ache(you know normal stomach ache that we all got every week---caused by wind, over eating or whatever), feeling a bit tired(again normal stuff and my own fault cos i never seem to go to bed before about 1 am!!!!!) etc etc ---I seem to turn into a symptom of my biggest fear---lymphoma!!
However, today, I havent itched at all. I thought to myself it is all in my head and lo and behold i havent had it!!
I got up and went out to watch my lovely nephew(and hey although i say it myself he is a really lovely lad who for ten years old is extremely polite and kind) play in a footie tournament all day and never gave my "daft" worries a second thought!!I am definately turning a corner cos the HA isnt taking over every minute of every day like it was a few months ago!!I am now having good and bad days and yesterday i did feel like i did at the onset. Today is different again.
Maybe the tablets are kicking in ----but the best help has been everyone on here. You cant imagine how desperate and alone i felt when i first came on these boards. I thought i was the only person who felt like i did.
So i hope this post can be of some reassurance to all the newbies on here---you will start and feel better---but it does take time.
Thanks again everyone xxxx
