That's another day done thus far ...........

[Jeepers]

Sooo, do we wipe the slate at the chime of New Year? New Year, New List, hahaha.  What do you think.. I need to add Lung cancer and Kidney cancer to mine now.

Butm yes, I did make it through the night.... small victories, eh?   

[jaypo]

Lung AND kidney cancer?you better get yourself to a dr jeepers.😂
It's good we can laugh at ourselves even though it's scary at the time,what a bunch of numpties

[CLKD]

Years roll into each other 4 me 

DH thinks that I should make an appt about this cough ..... I'd rather not know.

[star35]

CLKD my daughter was just like you with a cough that just wouldn't go, I finally persuaded her to see the doctor and it turned out it was asthma. I had never heard that coughing was associated with asthma so it was quite a surprise to us. I always thought asthma was just about wheezing and being out of breath.

[BlueButterfly]

CLKD, best to get it checked out.

I had a cold that resulted in a cough that lasted 2 months before I saw the doctor. What I was told is that essentially my lungs were exhausted and I was having an 'asthma-like' reaction. They never called it asthma..but an inhaler was given, which helped so much, and really good cough medicine! I have a regular inhaler on hand because I get "reactive airways" now...because of that prolonged cough. Like asthma...but not, according to the doctor. It is only a problem if I get a chest cold...

Heart is bad tonight  - acute indigestion 

[Spangles]

Oh Ladies!
Thank you so much, my anxiety is high tonight and I'm panicking I'm having a breakdown!
Period has arrived 2 days before my Utrogestan course ends, plus a stinking cold with aching eyeballs and teeth!😂
You've made me laugh and relate to the fact that we are all probably the same!
Thanks again
Spangles
xXx

[Aby123]

Oh my word ladies you have made me feel so much better.  I thought I was the only one in the world with all these possible ailments
 

My list includes....j
Heart attack
Motor neurone
Breast cancer
Stomach cancer
Kidney disease
Meniers disease

Health anxiety has alot to answer for...but as yet the only diagnosis for 2018 is high blood pressure!!!
Just wish I could stop worrying about every little twinge!!!
This thread is brilliant, its helped me to put things into perspective 

[CLKD]

 . aids  - coughing.  A spot that won't clear ........ watching the biography of Freddie Mercury who had a persistent cough and sarcoma that wouldn't heal 

Otherwise - OK 

[CLKD]

OK - so that spot has dried up  .

Himself thinks that I am coughing 'worse' but it's that time of day 

[Roseneath]

Just found this thread. Funny! We should do a stand up routine Victoria Wood style.  OK here is mine. It feel so good to share the shame!

Breast cancer
Bowel cancer
Skin cancer (had tiny mole removed - was just a tiny mole!)
Parkinsons
Dementia (Sage test every day for a month)
Skin cancer again (wee mole I have had on my butt for my life)
Fatal insomnia (Found this one on the internet! Apparently it is made up and doesn't exist. Ended up ER on a Sunday convinced I had this. They palmed me off with an 18 year old locum who thought it was hilarious. There is even a made up story of a man in Italy who dies of this!
Pancreatic cancer
Everythings wrong with my lady buts you could imagine
Motor Neuron
Bone cancer (was a bone spur on bit toe I have had for years).
Brain disease
Going deaf / going blind (inner ear virus / long sight!)
Latest.....compulsive swallowing which I will be doing for ever and never stop

Holidays ruined......about 6 I reckon.

Shall we go for symptom checking next ladies? There is no place at no place I haven't checked.

You get so much info stuff when you hit puberty but none for meno so it is impossible to know what the ' new normal' is. Like my doc said this week ' You are not young anyone but you are not old - this is your new normal'.  This anxious shivery wreck.

Also Beware that all your adverts on all your media will now be linked into our neurotic Googling. Every time I open my Yahoo Mail I get stories of people dying young.

On for just ONE DAY of blissful non self hyper awareness....

[Roseneath]

P.S CLDK  I had a cough for 4 months once during winter.  Doc said at this time of year you can catch multiple viruses at the same time and as you keep coughing your chest area gets so tired you don't fight them off as quick.  Get some Meds to calm the coughing down.X

[CLKD]

What do you suggest?   Whisky for starters! 

As for shame - there's no shame here!
