Hi Ragdoll

You are certainly not a burden. We are all filled with anxiety waiting to see what results come from these uneasy symptoms. I have a breast ultrasound today and like you I just can't function I cant eat stop panicking I am just willing the appointment to come and to be told there's nothing there. You are not alone. When do you get seen in the breast clinic?

Haven't got an appointment yet, called the referral line just now to make sure it had gone through since they had so much drama at the GP with issues on their system, was told I am showing and I'll get a call in the next few days.

I have a blood test appointment on Wednesday that I was told I had to get done by the GP too.

I hope your ultrasound goes okay today.

Hope your ultrasound went okay.x

I'm getting more and more pains and my panic has triggered my MS so I'm physically wrecked.

Got my clinic appointment for Wednesday 1:40.

Feels like I'm carrying a suffocating weight too now.

Hi ragdoll 

I got the all clear thankfully. I thought the anxiety would lift immensely but I still have unanswered questions. I was told it must be down to glands and hormones. I am of course so grateful something sinister is ruled out but the anxiety is still there and the pain so for now I will live with it and hope for the best.

I can imagine the fatigued feeling but Wednesday will fly around you and I will be thinking of you and sending good vibes your way for good news only x

Hi Radoll,

I am so sorry to hear of the worries you have on top of your MS. I though that it might help to ease your anxiety to know that not all lumps are cancerous. Some are benign cysts or fibrous changes and many women have naturally lumpy breasts. It is also a fact that only 1 person in every 8 referred to the breast clinic will get a cancer diagnosis.

Your worry will naturally trigger your MS, but pain is seldom associated with breast cancer, so you may be worrying over nothing.

I am glad to hear that your appointment has come through for Wednesday and I sincerely hope that it all goes well. Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Anxiety,

I am so glad to hear that you got the all clear, but concerned that you don't fel reassured. An ultrasound should pick up anything untoward. However, if things don't settle down for you, don't be afraid to ask for further investigation.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Having an anxiety disorder I know all to well that it doesn't just go.

Sadly it's easier to inflate that balloon.

Have you contacted the GP in regards to pain?

They might be able to prescribe or recommend something better than OTC pills (they're doing nothing at all for me) maybe a topical gel.

Shouldn't have to just live with it. 

So glad they couldn't find anything sinister though

Yes she said she will send me for an MRI she thinks it could be a trapped nerve or worst case scenario she says a tumor so thats why im still so uneasy.

Thanks so much for your replies.  I find anxiety makes it hard to distinguish between what symptoms feel real and ones that are just brought on by anxiety.

Wishing you all positive and healthy outcomes from all of your worries x
