May I jump up and down :  because since a child I've had that sensation under my rib cage.  When I have a cold.  Or cough.  Told as a child that it's imagination  .  I even try to get rid of the itch …….. but it goes once the Germ does.

Did you get the results of your blood tests yet JustJules?

[marras]

You will cope Justjules. The first thing I said when they found a malignant tumour in my appendix was 'I'd rather die than have chemotherapy'. However, I ve come through a 7 hour operation and start chemo in around a week's time. Somehow, you do get the strength to get through whatever life throws at you. Stay determined. Xx

Sorry to piggyback on this post but very best of luck Teresa on Wednesday. Will be thinking of you.xx

Hi JJ just caught up on this thread. Have you had your blood and swab results back yet? How are you feeling?

Reading this thread just reinforces my belief that we have such a wonderful collection of caring, understanding, sensitive women here on this site. We should be proud of each other   

Teresa and marras I continue to think about you both and send you my love and my very best wishes. Teresa you are a wise woman, we do have the strength to manage whatever is thrown at us, we find the strength to get through. Little steps, deal with what's happening today, don't worry about tomorrow. xx

Hi - sorry not updated but have bobbed in and out but didn't feel up to posting.

Haven't heard anything re bloods so hoping that is a good sign.  Surgery normally text to say either get in touch or all okay and I haven't had anything, neither has my son, who had some bloods done at the same time as me so I will ring.

Basically, sore throat gone but still got 'sensation' of burning type ache down one side of throat and my neck is still very achey - I can't even describe it, and I can't help but concentrate on it.  I don't know whether I am getting myself in such a state of anxiety I'm making it worse but I feel really off, especially around 5am to 6am and then during the day, it wears off and then comes back so I don't know what it is.  I am just hoping that if it was anything sinister my bloods would have been bad.  Had loads of stressful events during the last month which haven't helped.  Can never tell whether it's bloomin anxiety and panic but when I feel ill with anxiety, it feels different each time.

Thank you for you kind thoughts. x

I have a cough: still  .  But it hasn't got worse, doesn't keep me awake in the night any longer nor is it continuous.  Annoying though    .

Are you sleeping with your mouth open?

[Justjules]

Don't think so at the moment CKLD.

[Justjules]

Op day tomorrow!! Blood pressure will no doubt be high as a kite like it was for pre assessment..that's hospitals for you ::)x

Good luck Teresa - will be thinking about you.  Hope all goes well and you can regain your strength quickly to carry on with your recovery and treatment.  Sending you big hugs. x

Good luck with the op, Teresa xx

JJ, if you see your doctor again ask if it could be acid reflux. I had the same symptoms and it took two years for docs to find out it was that. All they did was put me of Omeprazole which is an acid suppressant. My blood tests were clear too.

[Justjules]

Thanks AL.  I already take Omeprazole but it could be still affecting my throat but can't understand why my neck would be sore/achey.

Good luck Teresa, will be thinking of you

JustJules - tension.

[Autumnlady]

Yes, JJ, it makes my neck area and often my ear, like Sparkle.

I find I have to eat differently too to help these symptoms. Sugars make it worse, as does acidic foods. Tea coffee and chocolate I have to be careful with. It is boring but when there are flare ups I have to cut these out for some time to feel better.

It may not be what you have but it is something to consider. Good luck x
