Health Anxiety - Part 4

[polkadotpixie]

I hope no-one minds me starting a follow up thread. I know some people were waiting for me to update so I thought I would but happy to ask MNHQ to delete if one of the long term posters wanted to start it 😊

@RunawayBride2 could you of been laid funny? Hope your feeling ok now x

I'm not sure but it's really worrying me it's completely set me off today. I can't concentrate on anything, feel sick and shaky with worry

Hi everyone, been a busy week in work and missed the new group. It fills up so fast.
Rang doctors this morning, 112 redialed attempts(my phone automatically redialed), finally got through. Just waiting on a doctor to call back.

Morning everyone I have not had a good night I am still worried about the small lump inside my bottom. My doctor said it is possibly a skin tag or polyp. I cannot keep off google xx

Hope everyone is feeling okay today 🤞

@3boyshere Anal skin tags and polyps are very common (I work in colorectal) and the very vast majority of them are nothing to worry about. I'm waiting for removal of 2 myself currently

I'm not doing well. I'm still constantly weeing and it's not an infection (I've dipped my urine) so it's fuelling my fears that it's ovarian cancer and it's pressing on my bladder 😭 I've also lost 4lbs in the last week. I know this may well be because I've lost my appetite due to anxiety but it's just adding to my fears

My MRI is on Sunday at 3pm. It can't come soon enough but I'm also dreading it in case the news is bad

@polkadotpixie i'm also wearing a lot at the moment, I don't feel like anything is pressing, but I am waiting a lot, particularly at night! I'm on my cervix,/vagina at the moment when it comes to anxiety. Tiny amount of spotting after my period finished has also set me off, plus I have given myself an internal examination, and my vagina does not feel the same inside on both sides, it doesn't feel massively different, but it feeds into that if I'm not completely symmetrical I get really stressed 😬😬😬

Sounds like we are all having a tough week, sending love and thoughts to everybody who is struggling at the moment X

@polkadotpixie thank you that does make me feel better 😘
I ho ope your scan goes well on Sunday this HA is so awful for us all. I am so glad I have found this thread x

@polkadotpixie sorry to ask you but can you get them inside your back passage? It slightly moves when I open my bowels and you can pinch it (tmi) x

@polkadotpixie I had bladder problems about 6/7 years ago now (if I’m remembering the times right) I had an op in the end but it might be worth asking your dr for tolterodine, it’s helps urgency/pain/Incontinence x

I wake up to see & go several times a day too x

*wee not see 😂

Oh god the vagina anxiety is real today! 😳🥺🥺

@Skyliner001 wish I could help more! I honestly don’t know what they’re suppose to feel like! I’ve started with lymph nodes again and I’m so annoyed at myself as I haven’t touched them in at least a week! Convinced ones bigger and that I’m getting pains in them! Logically im probably thinking it’s bigger as I haven’t poked them in a while but it’s ruining me mentally today!

I think it's just so out of the ordinary for me. I don't normally have bladder issues at all, I've always joked I have an iron bladder and even when I was 9 months pregnant I never had to go more than 3 or 4 times a day

My Mum & Sister think it's anxiety related. They might be right but I automatically think the worst

@polkadotpixie mine started extremely suddenly! I remember having to wee in the garden when the toilet was in use because I just could not physically hold it in and it burnt shocking! That was when it first started completely out of nowhere x

@Skyliner001 I’ve had the vagina/cervix anxiety before. I don’t think they are supposed to be perfectly symmetrical, mine certainly isn’t I don’t think! I wouldn’t worry about spotting after a period, happens to me all the time, it’s just a last little bit of old blood escaping.

@polkadotpixie hope you get some reassurance soon, I would think your weight loss is due to stress!

Does it kind of prolapse out when you poo? If so, maybe it's an old haemorrhoid that's left residual skin? That's what my skin tags are from

Have you been to the doctor about it? Sorry if I've missed where you said

Did you find out what was causing it? I'm wondering if it's the cyst or maybe interstitial cystitis as apparently there's an overlap with that and endometriosis which I probably have if this cyst turns out to be an Endometrioma

@Skyliner001 My vagina is definitely not symmetrical inside if that reassures you at all

Hello everyone! Welcome to the newbies! I'm tired! I'm not sleeping well - I keep waking up feeling really anxious with no real reason to it. No symptoms to report here expect my usual anxiety about whether I might spot (even though the GP reassured me about it) and whether my piles might bleed a little bit (they haven't for the past few weeks). I'm a bit conscious of my boobs but trying not to go down that rabbit hole!!!

Any news on the conformation mri @polkadotpixie xx

@3boyshere do you think it could be a pile? They definitely prolapse out when sitting on the toilet.

@onlyreadingneverposting8 It's on Sunday at 3pm. Feeling quite anxious about the results but glad it's happening soon

@polkadotpixie not so long now! We are all here for you! X
