Hi Helen, poor you hun!
Its really frightening when something is going off in your body and you just dont know what it is. Especially been left to try and enjoy christmas with it hanging over your head like a rotten bunch of mistletoe (sorry for the pun but i need to keep my spirits up!) I am going through a similiar thing and I am frightened stiff at the thought of what the new year might bring. In saying this though, i am determined to push it to one side and enjoy christmas. I am going to pretend it is not happening to me..........for now! I dont want to spoil christmas for my little boy as he is two and this will be the first christmas he really understands. I understand how frightened you are and if you want to talk to anyone over the christmas period then feel free to PM me at any time, whenever!
Please try to enjoy christmas, even if just for a few days. I know it is easier said than done but aslong as you take care of youreslf you will be fine hun x
