Omg I'm sure I would end up dominating this thread. In 2023 I've diagnosed myself with the following c's:
Ovarian
Colon
Malignant soas syndrome
Cervical
Kidney and bladder
Stomach
Esophagus
Throat
Nasal/pharynx
Tongue and mouth
Eyelid
Breast (more than once)
Lymphoma
Vulval / vaginal
Oh and my husband with colon and prostate

Definitely some more than once. Wow I have not written these all down until I responded to Jules's post and clearly missed some off of that. I need to keep this to remind myself of just how rubbish my track record is!!! I'm slightly mortified now 🙈

[CLKD]

Don't be mortified! 

Usually if I have symptoms for more than 3 weeks I tend to think that I ought to see a medic  .  i.e. low back pain [due to coughing]; irritating cough and reflux [due to stopping Omeprazolol]; DVT as I get intense thigh pain in the night; sciatica which turned out to be something else [can't remember] 

Still here.  I had breast disease treatment in the 1990s .........

Oh I can have a symptom for an afternoon and panic about it. Its like I need to know right now that it's fine and is going to go away 🙈

[CLKD]

I'm like that with pain because I never know how long it will last nor how long pain relief will take to work!

[Fuzzwhizzer]

In the last four months with my stomach back and rib pain about a million different things. I’ve always been a bit like that but lately it’s been crazy. When you can’t get to the bottom of something it does drive you nuts. To get correct treatment is the optimal and desirable ever receding Nirvana! My cats help by sitting on me and their purring is a natural soother!

[CLKD]

Some find that keeping a mood/food/symptom diary of use ....... might put issues into perspective?

[LisaCM74]

Yes me too! 
I've just about driven myself round the twist with all the ailments I have thought I had.
It's actually really refreshing to see that I'm not the only one. I honestly feel like a crackpot sometimes!

Based on the pains I've felt this year I've diagnosed myself with the following c's:

colon, stomach, liver, pancreatic, ovarian and kidney

An increase in pain led my doctor to order a CT scan and tv ultrasound this past week.  What is really causing my pain?   2 small ovarian cysts and degenerative joint disease of my lower spine.  And gas.   

Let's hope I can calm down now!

[jaypo]

Aahhh good old gas,even THAT can cause us to think we have some incurable disease 🙄😂

[Jane_w]

This thread has made me feel so much better.. Penguin I hear you ...that is me, constantly. And as for gas, that has prompted me on multiple occasions to spiral into a chasm of disease doom... until I inevitably fart/belch. Hubby just rolls his eyes most of the time...

Last night: 11.30: I had period-like pains ........ convinced that I had something serious right b4 C.mas 

Couldn't pass up or down.  Eventually did a normal poo then had a bath to encourage wind to pass.  It didn't but the 3rd bath of the day was lovely  . We had sprouts and cauliflower for our evening meal 

[CLKD]

Here we go: I am slowly accepting my aches and pains if they last more than 1 week without becoming or worse or better still, when they raise an alert B4 disappearing 

[jaypo]

Wish I could do that clkd,been suffering some kind of reflux for over a month now,dr has put me on 40mg omeprazole daily for 4 weeks but that feeling of a lump in my chest/top of stomach has me in a right old tizz

[CLKD]

When Do U take the Omeprazolol?  I find in the morning best for me, 20mg.
