Hi all,
I have had severe health anxiety for years and years which started after my twin boys were born. I convinced myself at 30 I had dementia after a simple hernia op made me so ill with anxiety. I've tried everything over the years including CBT, mindfulness etc. however it just gets so bad in waves. I am now so so worried about brain tumours all the time. I had a virus in May and it caused vertigo which has been ongoing, I've been diagnosed with post viral fatigue, BPPV...all sorts but I'm starting slowly to feel less dizzy. Yesterday I was given Bethastine and took one last night. Whilst I was drifting off I had mild pain above my ear in the head, it lasted a few seconds then went and happened again 3 times in succession. I then googled an it came up with ice pick aches...I haven't slept since as brain tumour came up on everything. I haven't had since although I feel a mild feeling there but maybe where I'm thinking about it all the time. My life has been ruined for 10 years and now I'm at breaking point. My mum had breast cancer last year and I had a bowel cancer scare. I feel so bad because I haven't had anything so far and people struggle with cancer every day. The Wanted boyband guy with a tumour died and he is younger than me...I'm 40. I give to the charity and am sorry for posting this as people have had a torrid time. I just wanted to know how people cope.
