I was doing well for quite some time, my boyfriend has been a huge help in rationalising my symptoms for me, but lately it's a complete mess again.
The last couple of months, I have intermittent pain below my lower right ribs, with sometimes my ribs there hurting to the touch (as if bruised). There are painful spots on my ribs if I push them (on the right side close to the area where it hurts). These spots I have both left and right. At the moment I rarely feel the pain, it has subsided again since last Wednesday or so. The more present pain lasts for one or two days.
I also had a mild itching all over my body for a couple of days some weeks ago. It was totally random and felt as if a hair is tickling in your face. As soon as I scratched the itchy spot, it left, only to appear elsewhere. When distracted, it wasn't all that bad.
My thoughts: liver disease/cancer
Then I also had a sudden shooting pain on the right side of my throat before I went to bed a couple of weeks ago, which made worse when swallowing. It only lasted for about five minutes, then the pain subsided. It was as if an insect stung me inside my throat.
Now my neck muscles hurt/are very tight and I get a lumpy feeling in my throat. It doesn't hurt anymore. I've also got a swollen gland there that hurts a bit.
My thoughts: throat cancer
Yesterday when I was getting ready to go to sleep I suddenly started having a dull tummy ache that comes and goes. I went into full panic mode since someone I know has been infected with the EHEC bacteria and nearly died. I did pass a lot of gas yesterday, so stomach probably is a bit upset, at least I hope. I was constipated for a couple of days but went yesterday morning, and also this morning. The pain is still there however.
And last, my scalp hurts in some places.
I hate these stupid symptoms. They are so many and I haven't got a clue if they are all anxiety or some serious illness :weep: I'm scared I have some sort of cancer that is spreading throughout my body
