JJ, I'm with you all the way with Health Anxiety. It is truly awful and can take over your life. No matter how folks try to reassure, I find that once I have one illness fixed in my brain, that's it. My BIL died from pancreatic cancer in November, and I have to agree with Sparkle, it is a truly horrid disease, and particularly hard to diagnose. You like me, obviously think of the worst case scenario, and Googling symptoms is such a dangerous thing to do. The pain you have could be many things, bowel problems, gallstones, etc. (or absolutely nothing) but I would suggest, even if it's just to give you peace of mind, to get a doctors appointment, and tell him your fears. The worry that makes your tummy flip all the time is horrid and I really hate myself at times for wasting so much of my life on my problems when I should be getting on and enjoying myself. All the worry and anxiety just brings on so many other horrible symptoms. Get it checked and have some peace of mind.
PS I am struggling at the minute with horrendous ****ly crawly legs (bloods, MRI all clear), but guess what, I back to thinking they have missed some awful progressive Neuro disease. I'm seeing doc in a couple of weeks to check this AGAIN! I was given AD's a while back but haven't taken them, but what are the bets the doctor tells me to start them.
Take care x
