Hi all,
I've selfishly signed up to share my worries with you, I've tried speaking to my family but they all believe it is simply stress and exhaustion that's causing my problems due to a persistent heavy workload which has been going on for upwards of 18 months. Unfortunately, I know my body and I don't share their opinion.
Six weeks ago, I started with persistent headaches that would vary in levels of pain and location. Two weeks later that I developed a sore throat, a swollen/stiff neck and back pain. A week ago that progressed into chest pain, tenderness in both my sides below my ribs, as well as a bloated stomach. Last night I found a lump/swollen lympnode in my right clavicle.
I've seen GPs with varying levels of success, at its worst they refuse to look at my throat, which still hasn't been examined, or focus in on one symptom ignoring the rest. I understand COVID has an impact, but they can now go to the pub after they've finished work, but they can't look at my throat :neutral: I've got myself tested for COVID, which was negative. I have been booked in for, and had, a head CT but I've yet to get the results. I'm half expecting it to come back normal, as all my blood tests and urine tests have done thus far, which would be a blessing but still doesn't leave me with any answers.
I am neither fit nor unhealthy, but I do keep active and I eat well. I've already made lifestyle changes to give myself the best chance should the worst be confirmed.
Oh and to top it off, I broke my little toe on Sunday :laugh:
Any and all replies appreciated.
