My loved ones all know about some of this but no one knows everything as I don’t want to over burden people. My husband knows almost everything apart from my recent weight loss which will really worry him. I have a face to face GP appt on Thursday with the best and kindest GP in the practice. I won’t be trying to bring it forward as the risk of getting the GP who has in the past accused me of making things up.
Over the last year I have been accumulating vague-ish symptoms which have at times been debilitating and other times almost non existent. They are really bad right now and I’ve lost 4.5lb in eight days. This is the first time in all of this that I’ve lost weight, in fact my very stable weight has been a constant reassurance that everything is ok. And I have been eating, my lovely husband is a bit of a feeder when he is worried and I still have an appetite.
Objectively I know that there is probably a simple explanation for everything but I have to admit I’m starting to get a bit worried now.

Please tell me your stories of simple explanations for scary symptoms.

P.s. username is a cricket related name change whilst getting courage to write this. Realise now it could read a bit morbid 🤣

Ah, sorry you're feeling so worried OP. Are you sure that this is actually weight lost? It's very normal for my weight to fluctuate by more than that!

I'm not at all medically trained, but I would have thought that symptoms which come and go are less concerning with malignant conditions?

Sorry, I mean if you're worried about those conditions...
