Thanks everyone, Im starting to calm down a little bit. Last night I almost has a horrible anxiety attack. I suddenly felt sick to my stomach, dizzy and nearly fainted. I layed down on the floor, my cat thought I was nuts. These negitive thoughts of mine are creating a overload of anxious tention within me and if Im not carefull Ill be suffering like I was a few months ago. Still getting the flutters in my side with intermiten pain. I hope it's just muscle pain from over breathing. Trying to think better thoughts but it's hard.
Cassie,
I also have a constant worry that something is wrong with me. I wake up every morning worrying that I am dying of some type of cancer. What is really shocking to hear is that you had the little red dots on your skin. I noticed the other day I also have these and worried what may cause them. My body also aches alot like when you have the flu and I found someone on the same medication (Lexapro)I am on, on this website and they had the body aches too. I wonder if the red dots could also be a side effect. You are not alone I go to bed at night and wake up in the moring knowing I have somem type of terminal illness. Hope everything gets better for you. And if you could let me know what your doctor believed was causing the red dots I would love to know. Thanks
Please don't think you have anything wrong with you. I do exactly the same thing you are doing. I have a symptom try and find out what it is then have all the symptoms of that illness. I had a swollen gland the other day and convinced myself i either had hodgkinsons lympoma or HIV!! Niether of which was possible. Does the medication you are taking thin your blood or something like that, is that why you bruise? It is hard to believe but the doctor would know if you needed tests. This is all a lot easier said than done as you know but I hope you feel better soon, I'm trying not to let this thing ruin my life but I don't thhink I'm getting very far!! Take care everyone.
Thank you everyone. I keep telling myself that if my doctor was alarmed that she would have ordered tests. I look right at her and said " So you don't think I have Leukemia?" She said no, the bruises were from too much Ibprophen, I was taking ALLOT because of my Headaches. This was two months ago so now Im doubting because I seem to be having more symptoms, Im just convinced my Spleen is swollen because of the flutters and now some stitch type pain, then again it could be muscle from me poking and prodding!
cassie i have a lot of the symptoms you have.i am tired all the time and i have pain between my shoulders which is a pinched nevere from my musclea being so tight cause i am stressed all the time.cassie everyday there is something different wrong with me i am sick of it.hang in there.

cassie, if your doctor suspected anything, she would have taken blood right away. dont worry.. your mind is out of control right now. hope you've relaxed a bit
You know, i get a ton of left shoulder pain, joint pain and general muscle pain. I did have some testing done and they think it is just general early form of arthritis. As for the under rib pain, I do get that. I get it on the left side a lot and I have been told it is upper GI like indigestion and gas. I do know if you have a lot of right side lower or upper pain they will look closely at your gallbladder.
As for the BIG BAD STUFF...oh goodness. We are so bad about that. I truly have banned myself from internet searching.
No my doctor never ordered any test she felt they were not nessisary. Also Im in the U.S and at this moment I don't have insurence. This is why Im so scared...
Thank you!
I have lost touch with reality right now, Im just so consumed with fear. I really do have most of the symptoms of Chronic Leukemia, I think Im going to go to the ER when my husband gets home so I can get this over with, Im really in a panic! I can't stop crying!
