I thought it was only me who did that! It certainly is therapeutic to read that I’m not a lone weirdo hypochondriac who shouldn’t be let loose on the internet. Actually I’m an AHP with 37 years in the NHS, so one of my recent jobs working in Acute Medicine was a really useful source of possible new diagnoses!
So since I started menopause (over 5 years ago now) I have self diagnosed with the following…
Osteoarthritis - valid in some joints
Rheumatoid arthritis
Pituitary tumour
Pancreatic cancer
Polycythemia
Lymphoma
Brain tumour
Bowel cancer
MS
MND
Perforated ulcer
Pathological fracture of the wrist
Leukaemia
Chronic kidney disease
Angina
Lung cancer
And my current favourite…. Fibromyalgia. Still convinced on this one.
