Hi there.
I have not posted for a while as things have been pretty ok. Not too much of the health anxiety of late. But, I developed a lump in the throat last year back in November. I was going through a pretty stressful time and it hit me like a wrecking ball. I thought I have throat cancer and I was going to die. OTT I know, but I just couldnt get the idea out of my head.
I went to the docs and she looked in my mouth and said everything looked fine. Coupled with the fact that I have never smoked and dont drink to excess, she said it was almost certainly a globus. It eased off and pretty much dissapeared.
Then, about three months ago, my Dad died. Things have been difficult, but we are all coping now. However, this lump in the throat has returned. I find myself continually clearing my throat as it feels very phlegmy a lot of the time. I cant say it's any worse than it has been before but I feel like my voice goes a bit croaky when its at its worst.
I guess I'm just looking for some re-assurance really. If it was anything serious, surely it would have gotten worse since almost 11 months ago? There would have been more symptoms?? and the fact that it seems to arrive when I'm very stressed or there abouts also seems a bit funny.
Sorry to harp on about this throat thing AGAIN, but it really does freak me when it appears.

I want to go up to my anxiety, smile, put my arm around it and say to it caringly, 'Hey! How are you? How's your day been?'
Then, just as its about to answer me, I wanna throw a sack over it and give it a hiding within an inch of its life.
That would be nice.
