Hi guys,
Haven't posted here for a while, mainly because things have been better, they still are, but having a bit of a weird few days and could do with some thoughts, opinions etc.
After seeing the rheumatologist and having a liver and abdominal scan as well to check all my organs (specifically my liver as I was convinced I had cirrhosis) everything came back clear. The rheumatologist said he rarely sees such a perfect set of results, so he said I should stop getting tests and move on, which I have been doing.
I started seeing a psychiatrist who agreed the same, and his opinion was that I would live a long and healthy life and that no medical problem was apparent or likely to be found.
I'm on 40mg of citalopram now and it has helped.
I've started drinking a bit again (socially) and i'm living in a new flat in a great location with great people, and just had a nice birthday, so i've been very happy, but also going through problems with a girl, stressed about money issues, and starting to feel anxious again.
Have also had (embarassingly) anal pain for the last couple of days, and a long staying blotchy rash, which i've been given cream for, but seems to be lingering.
Trying to register with a Dr tomorrow, but for some reason I just feel really stressed out and can feel the panic creeping back, even though I have been having lots of fun, and really pleased with the move.
I guess the stress of the move, relationship issues, money etc could be bringing on rashes and my worries about other stuff.
Just want to keep level headed and be rational about it.
Sorry I have waffled on about nothing in particular, just needed to get some stuff out.
If anyone wants to reply, chat, give advice, tell similar stories, I'd love to hear from you.
Hope everyone is bearing up.
