These last 6 weeks have this constant energy drain of unknowns with my body. I had emergency surgery with biopsies the first part of December. I had to wait until today to hear the results. This morning I accepted in my mind the possibility I have cancer, again. I felt atremendous relief when the biopsies all came back negative for cancer. The doctor suspects the underlying problem is allergies. Apparently, I am eating something in my diet that is causing swelling in my esophagus. So I am looking for a good allergist that might help me track down what I eat that creates the internal swelling. Does my body cooperate and tell me what I need to know? No. I do know it gets worse I am stressed, in a hurry, or general raise in anxiety for any reason. Guess what? Allergies get worse in these same conditions. I had this problem for over 15 years and this is the first doctor that suggested checking to see what I am allergic to. Monday and Tuesday are my 2 day thyroid test….and I wonder why I dread seeing doctors. Oh yea, the stress of not having a clue why my body does what it does and relying on a person I just met to tell me what would be the best course of action. Trust issues can really interfere with getting proper medical care.
ruth, I’m so glad you dont have cancer! I hope things are going well in other parts of your life. HOpefully the tests this week will be ok. xxx
