Re: I think I might be dying

I'm gonna be signing off soon @ArraDreaming but I'm sending you many hugs and hope that you are able to get off to sleep okay. I think it's like @Birdofparadise8 says, you're extremely unlikely to die, so try to focus on what you can control and put the anxious thoughts to rest - something I do sometimes is to imagine myself putting the anxious thoughts into a box in my mind. Then whenever my brain tries to refocus on them I'm like 'nope, those are in a box until something can be done with them'.

Maybe watch something on tv or something to help distract yourself for now. I will talk to you whenever we're both on next. You will be okay 💜

Re: I think I might be dying

I’ve only read the initial post, but I have had swollen lymph nodes. They are one symptom of potential cancer, but they aren’t conclusive.

I remember mine, I was having a consultation for jaw surgery when I mentioned it to my doctors, because by then I was in horrendous pain. I thought they would shove me onto a stretcher and wheel me in for scans or something, but they were super chill about it. They were so incredibly painful, though, I hope you’re feeling better soon.

Sorry @ArraDreaming

I fell asleep.

I hope you slept alright.

Maybe just give the nurse a call if you are still worried.

Hey @ArraDreaming ,

My niece had swollen nymph nodes about 3 weeks ago. She had an ultrasound and there were some ear the bottom of her ear and a big on under her chin. It was very painful for her.

It ended up being linked to an infection in the body. So after a course of antibiotics, she was fine.

Seeing you have been unwell, you may have an infection. Go see your "lovely" GP.

I’m ok today it still hurts a lot but sorry for being so stressed @tyme
i don’t know why I get myself into such a panic sometimes
I’m not dead yet so that’s good. Thanks for your support, I don’t really want to go back to my doctor because of the out of pocket cost
how are you?
just been for a surf with my boys @tyme

Re: I think I might be dying

Can Mrs Jay help you with finding another dr? You may need antibiotics. @ArraDreaming

I hear how stressful last night was for you.

Re: I think I might be dying

i found one at the same clinic @tyme I went to him last week and I actually thought he was ok, a bit better then the other one, they all book out fast so it’s just a matter of who’s available, still all costs about $88 upfront,

he told me I need to see an ENT because I keep getting sick but I won’t have the money for that and it could be long wait I have to get eye surgery next month, so just trying to prioritise, I’m already worried about that, I really don’t think this lump is related to the ent stuff though i don’t have a sore throat

Just sick of being sick
