Finally, I  had ct scans done on Monday , 1st of June  & will have an MRI one this Friday on my head only. 
 

The reasons for these tests are a whole set of debilitating and worrying symptoms I've have been experiencing over the last 3 months. In that period - which more or less coincides with the coronavirus lock down - I've suffered with ever increasing malaise and have lost over 20 pounds in weight.  From the start until now I've had problems with sinues, dry and sore throat, difficulty swallowing, pains in chest, pains in the windpipe, acid reflux, pains in the spectrum area, constant heaviness on the top left side of my stomach, bloatedness that never subsides and that makes me feel uncomfortable , pains  and tenderness all over the stocmach, kidneys' area tightness, lower back pain, swelling & pain over tailbone, pains at the bottom of my stomach ( right & left side)...

In all I've been feeling very ill. It has been really hard to persuade doctors that I don't think these symptoms are due to a post corona virus fatigue, 4 GPs  told me that & an A&E doctor - although I never had a coved19 test, nor had fever & cough. Some doctors also told me it was mainly anxiety & prescribed antidepressants. I don't really blame anyone, but it has been hard to feel heard. 
 

So, it's been really hard to get to the point of being tested. I now find myself exhausted and in a place beyond which I have no idea of whats next. I am waiting for the results of the ct scans any these could be any cancer or anything & I am so very scared.
 

I write here because I find the whole thing extraordinarily lonely and scary experience - thank you very much for reading it.
