:weep::weep::weep: ive had enough of feeling like this, i WISH it would stop!!!
basically ive had anxiety and depression since my early twenties. Im going through a really bad time of it at the moment and i think its related to PND as i had my 3rd baby boy just over 3 months ago. Its severe health anxiety. It was triggered by a friend of a friend passing away of cancer :( :(
started off about 6 weeks ago, where i thought my bowel habits changed, so i went to docs, all fine. Then, i started getting a pulling sensation in my upper back, accompanied by all i can describe of as a "burning" skin sensation. This went on for a week or so, and seemed to be coming from an area near a mole i have on my back. went back to docs, all ok again, i got all upset telling him about my anxiety and stuff and he offered to prescribe me proprononal. I said i would see how i go and try to take some herbal things. I got back home and after reading the side effects, i decided not to take it, and get herbal things to try first.
So then after that i started getting a sore gland in my neck, and muscle aches in the right side of my kneck/shoulder/right arm. I felt around my neck, and i know ive always had prominent glands in my kneck but i convinced myself one was swollen more, so off i went to docs again, mentioned the aches and pain etc and again got reassured saying its all due to stress/anxiety. So now im getting dizziness :( :( which started at the weekend and its definately there. Its worse when i walk fast or turn round/lean over and get up. Ive been reading up on vertigo and it sounds like that but its still there. I asked the dentist about it too as im having probs with teeth and need a brace and asked him if dental problems can cause dizziness and he said no. But ive read online it can, especially problems with your bite and alignement of your teeth.
So off I went back to docs again yesterday, i really didnt want to go but told my health visitor and she said not to be scared of going back, so i did. Doctor reckons its all tension again, and im also going for a blood test to check my iron levels. He felt around my shoulders and back and kneck again, im getting a mild headache too around the area. Im so scared and think theres something underlying hes not picking up and ive got cancer or something :weep::weep::weep: am scared of getting the blood test done now too :( :(
somedays i can have a good day, i get up and all goes ok, but i usually find my symptoms come on around now, its always this time they come on
my mum and partner keep reasuring me and getting quite cross with me telling me im silly and to stop worrying. Ive NEVER had it this bad its horrible i just wish it would stop and feel normal again, :weep::weep:
sorry for going on just need to rant and get it out i hate it!!!!!
