Hi everyone, this is the first time I've posted on here but i'd just like to say thanks to everyone on here. This website is really brilliant and has got me through some very difficult times, reading everyone's posts makes me feel less alone/insane :)
So I have been suffering from HA for nearly 2yrs now and like many of you i've been convinced i've had leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumor, MS, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer...the list goes on.
My GP is great and lets me come and talk to him as often as I need to (sometimes every week :wacko:) he prescribed me beta blockers a few months ago and I feel like i've been doing better...
HOWEVER - i'm panicking again. ok gross, but basically i had a small pile a few months ago. i used the cream and eventually it shrunk away to practically nothing, but now i've been getting the same discomfort, the pile isn't back to how it was but there's definite discomfort and itching etc.
Also i've been having tummy pains and digestive problems for a couple of weeks, i feel excessively gassy, my stomach has been gurgling loads and i get random bouts of constipation/loose stools.
STUPIDLY I googled and convinced myself I have bowel cancer!! (I am 22 so i know it's unlikely, but that's how my mind works!)
And the last few days i've been getting horrible indigestion-type pains in my upper-abdomen, which now feel like they are in the left side of my chest and back! so I am freaking out that something is wrong with my heart!!!
Sorry for writing such an essay! Are the chest pains caused by my gas and digestive problems?? and is it normal to get piles along with IBS-like symptoms??
Any help would be massively appreciated because i'm very scared yet again :weep:
