I've spent the last two days getting myself into a right state :(
I have been poorly with bad bronchitis since Aug and been on various antobiotics and referred to respiratory clinic in Jan as unusual to have recurrent infections for so long. Have also been in hosp with haemhoragic (sp) ovarian cyst for five days and have to go back to hosp for that in Jan too.
WHen I came out of hosp about 4 weeks ago I had a pain in my calf and had myself convinced it was a DVT but my husband was rational and calmed me down. The pain/ache gradually spread to my thigh muscles, hips and back of knees - not constant or stopping me walking but uncomfortable and annoying. Anyway a few weeks down the line and things are gradually worse. All of my muscles ache now and some of my joints - shoulders, beck, arms, elbows, back, etc. Again it is not agony and although something aches constantly, not everything aches all of the time. Rationally I am trying to tell myself that these aches are part of HA and are more evident because we made snowmen yesterday, etc but my irrational side is convinced it is something awful like MS but I'm too scared to google incase the symptoms fit. I'm also scared that my heart and lung muscles will be affected (far fetched I know but amazing how this has spiralled!).
I think I am scared that this cyst is ovarian caner or something and that is what has caused the lung problems and now my muscles - what if it's metastatic cancer or something?!
I've made a doc appointment for Tues but I am scared of feeling rubbish over christmas and not being there for the kids.
HAs anyone else had these all over aches and pains before - was it stress related???
