Try to relax. It could be a stomach bug. I just lost 6 lbs this week after coming off of Prednisone. I too have thought I ma just going to die. Then yesterday I realized I need to STOP thinking all of this. I actually tried to relax and i did. Sometimes I think we cause problems in our bodies by "thinking" too much. Try some Yoga or something to take the edge off. Do you currently take medication? You have to learn to relax.
I have been where you are, sister.... I actually am where you are. I constantly feel like there's something wrong with me. I know is is crazy but I literally convinced myself that I had AAA and cried for 3 hours straight! It's hard to remember that it's just anxiety, believe me I know... Whenever I'm having a panic attack, 100% of me believes that I've got an illness or that I'm just going to die.... It *****. But hey.... We've all got each other to talk to! If you ever need to explain things or just let off steam about this, message me! I'd be more than happy to talk with you...
I experience all different kinds of physical symptoms due to my anxiety.... Upper abdominal pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, headaches, chest pain, dizziness, and just plain crying....oh, and yes..l weight loss.... Honey, I'm sure you're fine... The fever is probably nothing to worry about because I get them sometimes too... You will live and you'll be there for your kids. DO YOUR BEST AND TRY TO STOP THINKING YOU HAVE CANCER!!! And another tip.... Don't look up your symptoms on line that just leads to chaos... Hope I helped:)
I'm relieved to hear that someone else has been where i am. I don't think I've ever been so sure that something was so wrong before. I know weight fluctuates for most people. I weigh myself every few days and mine generally doesn't, more than a lb, and my clothes are getting loose. The only reason I knew i had lost weight was because my husband commented on it. I really hope you're right and its just the stress and diet. I've never lost weight like this before either….even in my worst times. i know that gallbladder isn't usually the culprit so that's part of what is scaring me. Thanks for the reassurance!
Take a few deep breaths. You are fixed on "knowing" you have cancer that your mind can't think of the million other things it could be and likely is! Weight loss can be caused by many things and yes anxiety and stress is most certainly one of them. I'm willing to bet that's it too since all the stress you've been under. (4-5 pounds is nothing! weight fluctuates 3-5 all the time). I thought I've had a million swollen lymph nodes in my past and trust me. Only a doctor can tell if its a swollen lymph node. I've been worked up just like you are now in the past and KNEW I had a serious illness I mean I freaking KNEW 100% without a doubt I had it. Well turns out I was 100% wrong. My anxiety caused those irrational thoughts it made me get tunnel vision on those thoughts I couldn't see or imagine anything else. Try to think outside the anxiety box. You'll be ok.
