Hi all
Well its a long story but I will condense to make it easeir to read.
Well where do I start.
From an early age I think I have always had a problem with HA issues.
I thought I had the black plague when I was 8 and then thought it had HIV when I was 12 (gotta laugh about that now). Both times I watched programs and then thought I had symtoms. I did however had encephalitis when I was 7 (1week hospital stay)
As I got near 30 I started having severve headaches for many months. Various GP's thought I had migranes and gave me pills.Kept going back but crucially never saw the same GP. Anyway after 9 months I had problems with my eyes and went to an optician. Ended up in Hospital at of that day and was diagnosed with totally kidney failure.
6 months later and my lovely sis gave me one of her's and apart from a few issues all has been well on that front for nearly 10 years.
Since then though and especially over the last 3 years my HA issues have been getting much worse. Yes I was letdown and yes I did have a problem but what I have thoguht I also had over the last 3 years is pretty silly.
Its ranged from Throat cancer to Brain Tumour to MS to Stomach Cancer.
I even thought I had a Vascular problem that only affects 40 people each year in the UK. Beacuse I have private health I have loads of tests done all showing nothing.
So the question I ask myself is I must be making these symtomns up with a great deal of help from the internet.
After last weeks episode of thinking I had Esophegael cancerand nothing actually being there I thought enough is enough.
I am looking to see a congnitive therapist and will combine this with Yoga once a week. I time I know its only my brain that can change this and im now more determined than ever that this was not rule my life anymore.
All I can to people that are worried is be a little concerned when problems happen but take them in stages (A,B C etc) and try not to do what happens to me and go from A to Z by looking at symptomns on the Web.
Thats all for now
