Glad to find a forum where people understand. My health anxieties have been off the hook since I came into my 40's (five yrs ago). To make matters worse, I work in hospice. So, that just adds a whole new layer to anxiety. It seems that as soon as I have a test and get comfort about a symptom I'm having, we're back to square one a couple months later when another nefarious symptom pops up. I have this fear of dying from something diagnosed too late and to make matters worse...my brain has conjured up a date in my head that this is going to happen. In reality, I know this is completely ridiculous...but my mind won't stop with it. As of late, I am concerned about ovarian cancer. I had a pelvic ultrasound 6 months ago and it was fine, with the exception of a 9mm calcified cyst on my right ovary. I had forgotten about it, but started dealing with pelvic bloating, gas, belching, and heartburn in November 2019. I chalked it up to my IBS, though admittedly it hasn't been this bad before. It all seemed to progressively get worse over 5 months. This last week are started having left sided ovary area pain that hurts in the hip and travels toward the back on the left side. Feels like a side ache. I don't feel anything when palpating, but it still causes me great anxiety. I have another pelvic ultrasound this week, but I'm not sure how to keep myself calm between now and then. I'm so sick of letting anxiety rule my life.
