Scares, unwell yet normal blood work

I'm now terrified. I'm 28 and have a little boy who I'm scared I won't be there for.

I've been unwell since the start of the year. But over the past two months I've had diherea, a low grade fever that won't budge, weight loss, and sinus pain. I did also get stomach pain too. 

They riled out teavellers diherea, crohns and other bowel diseases, checked my liver, kidneys, thyroids, full blood count, celiacs, all via stool and blood samples and they're all OK. They gave me antibiotics about half a week ago as they really can't tell what's wrong. Yet my temperature is still above 37 and I'm losing weight.

I had a lump in my boob that only my partner and I can find but they said it's probably hormonal. A mole that went pusy and vanished and reappeared but they checked it with a light and said it was OK. My period is on a 21 day cycle and often has a day break in between. I'm not sure if these are relevant at all.

I just keep crying for no reason too. 

I'm just so scared and keep thinking it's got to be cancer.

  • I've had a catalogue of symptoms for the last 6-9 months, including hot flushes (I'm a 63 year old man!), pains in specific places including a continual neck pain, tiredness, poor sleep, etc. I also have chronic sinus and IBS, too.  After a battery of blood tests (all normal), X-rays on chest and neck (all normal), etc, I was finally diagnosed with something called Fibromyalgia, which isn't cancer. 

  • Thanks. I mentioned this to my doctor but he doesn't think so. How are you coping with it? 

     

    I'm also considering addison's as the last year I've just lower salt. 

     

    Woke up really shaky tonight. Can't tell if it's because I'm scared or something more physical. I drunk some electrolyte rehydration water which I've been told to drink and it's seemed to help.

  • It appears I have a "mild" case of Fibromyalgia; I certainly wouldn't want a severe case of it, judging from the numerous horror stories I've read about.  I'm coping reasonably well, but much of that is because I'm retired on an adequate pension, so I can pick and choose what I do and when I do it. My sleep pattern is often disturbed - laying awake at night, while having the urge to nap in the afternoons, and a continual pain in the neck (not just the wife!), but I could be worse and the doctor says I might yet recover from it.

    I certainly understand what it's like to have an undiagnosed condition. At one meeting with my very sympathetic GP, my wife burst into tears because she thought I had cancer (again). After the normal blood tests my GP was able to reassure her (and me). 

    Sorry to hear about your shaky wake up. That has happened to me, too, and it's not pleasant.

    Let us know how you get on. 

  • Thanks. Still getting terrified. So scared it's adrenal cancer or similar =/ I see the GP today and will ask for more tests. I just keep crying right now.

     

     

  • I'm being sent for an abdominal ultrasound and bloods for cortisol and the pancreas. Not sure when the scan is yet. Hopefully soon. 

     

    Felt very ill this morning and had to see the out of hours GP. He gave me tablets for anti sickness as it was making me feel off. 

  • how how are you doing noww? Is everything ok?
