ugh..if this really is all just anxiety.. I'm not coping!

[Katie_cupcakes]

I started to convince myself that I have pancreatic cancer. Since thinking it I have developed pain symptoms in my back and upper stomach. Like sharp elastic band pingy pains. Its been constant all day. I just can't u derstand how this very real and very painful pains can be anxiety..or just caused by my imagination...

I was crying over dinner this evening and my mums saying its clear for everyone to see that its all anxiety...everyone except me.

But its everything and its so overwhelming. Like a couple weeks ago I was waking up in a sweat at night and was really thirsty. I could drink a whole pint of water and I'd still feel thirsty. I googled. And diabetes came up. I immedietly dismissed it thinking nah I'm not overweight, I have no history in the family, it won't be diabetes. Then I start getting other symptoms...googled them, and got pancreatic cancer...then I notice that diabetes is a symptom/effect of pancreatic cancer..,so its All adding up.
The other night I woke up drenched in sweat, my sheets and top was soaked..only top half, bottom half was fine, this also went along with the pain in my back..which is now also in my stomach.

This is too much :( I'm absolutely sure its what it is. And now I'm depressed and not enjoying life.

There was a post earlier where the guy was sure he had a brain tumor for close to a year! He doesn't

Have you been to the doctor? Just asking because maybe they can reassure you.

You're clearly under a lot of stress with all this worry and any on going stress is going to play physical symptoms on your body.

You're probably not imagining these pains, I can't tell you whether they're caused by anxiety or not because I'm not a doctor but anxiety/stress does cause back pain etc.

The best thing to do is go to your doctor and tell him how you feel, you should try some therapy or something too!

I was once convinced I had a brain tumour. Seems silly looking back as I was only 16 at the time!

These past 6 weeks iv thought I had:
Cervical cancer
Or endometriosis
Cervical cancer that had spread to my lungs/kidneys etc
Hormonal imbalance
Hyperthyroidism
Pituatry tumour
Breast cancer
I thought the blood from my period was actually blood in my urine.
Fibromygalia
Burst blood vessel in stomach...

I know it looks ridiculous, I'm pretty sure I know what it is this time though!

I'm in the same boat! Over the last two months I've been SURE I had:

Herpes
Fibromyalgia
Rheumatoid arthritis
Lymphoma
Parasites
CSF leak
Dehydration
Ramsay hunt syndrome

You name it..I just keep cycling through them over and over....

[tuesdayschild44]

Me too, for about two months I have had:
MS
ALS
Fibromyalgia
Lyme disease
Rabies (because I swear my dog had a limp too, I hurt my back and had weakness and tingling in my leg) crazy right?
Poisoned
Bowel cancer
Cervical cancer
Brain tumor until a ctrl scan was all clear
I know rationally I cannot have all these things anxiety I know I have but I can't stop thinking the worst
Actually I forgot adrenal gland tumor
Hyperthyroidism
stroke
It must have been something new almost every day
I have googled so much I think I overdosed on it, I mean now I can't remember what symptoms were for what disease, maybe that's a good thing.

[Worried 24/7]

At least I know I'm not alone :-)

[tuesdayschild44]

No you are not alone, I know I'm not anymore, that helps so much. I am so glad I came across this site, the only good thing I have gotten from GOOGLE!

[Worried 24/7]

Totally! Hahaha!
