First of all, I keep feeling confused. I'm forgetting things, I'm mixing my dreams up with my real life and it's hard to distinguish between the two and I keep getting really bad headaches. I get the headaches every single say and have been doing for at least a month and a half now. Tablets help but it always comes back. I'll wake up in the night with a horrendous stinging feeling all over my head sometimes, but usually, It's not so bad.

I am suffering from insmnia, also. I find myself falling asleep very easily during the day time and sometimes I just get the urge to fall asleep and I do, for a couple of hours. When I wake up I always feel really ill. It's normal to feel slightly confused and disorientated when you wake from sleep but this is different. I always feel like I'm going to throw up and it feels like my chest and stomach is full of acid (this comes later). My throat kills me; it feels like I've drunk a bottle of acid and it's when I wake up that the headache is usually at its worst. My body aches all over when I've been lying down, which seems a bit stupid because you've rested your body when you've been lying down. So why does mine feel like it's been hit by a truck when I wake, even from maybe only a two hour nap?

I have been having a sore throat every day for God knows how long. I have a drink and it makes it feel better but it always comes back, especially if I've been talking. It feels like my tonsils and the back of my mouth are burning up sometimes. I have one now, which isn't a big surprise to me.

I have terrible indigestion, wind and constipation which has been ongoing for about three months. I've always got heartburn and I take tablets for it but they don't work. My stomach is always feeling bad. It doesn't really hurt but sometimes I get the feeling I'm going to throw up but I never do.

Along with these, I get moments of dizziness and my body is always twitching. My arms, thighs, my neck, my eyes, it seems that every part of my body is twitching at some point or other, which is a worrying fact for me because surely you're not meant to twitch like that.

When I don't have to get up for an early morning I find it hard to get out of bed. I wake around 11am but I don't usually get up til 1pm. This is because I can't seem to muster the strength to get out of bed. I can do it, but I really have to push myself and sometimes it actually hurts. My family says I'm lazy and I have a laugh about it, but I never told them the full extent of what I was going through. I'm trying to kid myself that I'm blowing this all out of proportion, that I'm actually fine and am just exaggerating the illness in my head. I'm a bit of a hypochondric, you see, and it's possible to imagine some symptoms, but no way can I have imagined all this. It seems real enough to me and I'm sick and fed up of feeling like this.

I've been to the doctor and he says there's nothing wrong with me. It's my lifestyle, he said. I changed it and still feel the same. I work part time in a charity shop, I eat healthy food as WELL as bad stuff (it's not like my diet consists of unhealthy food only and I love vegetables and always eat a lot of them). I don't know what else I can do.

I just re-read through this and it doesn't seem HALF as bad as what I'm actually going through. I don't think I'll be able to describe it clearly.

Should I tell my mom about this? She knows about the headaches and she also noticed that I've been burning up and have had a high temperature recently. This was yesterday in fact. We went to a sushi bar on Thursday and she thought I was having an allergic reaction to the raw fish that I had eaten but I had told her I had been feeling this way for about a month. That was all I told her though; nothing more than that. I don't want to worry her or anything and I keep hoping that one day I'm just going to feel perfect again.

I don't really know why I'm posting this. It's not as if you can do anything. Nobody likes feeling ill though and I don't want to have to keep pretending everything is fine when it clearly isn't and having worrying thoughts and keeping them to myself all the time.

You've posted threads simmilar to this before, and you've been told to go to the doctor. If those are indeed all of the symptoms, then honestly, go to a doctor.
You've told others to go to the doctor before, so i'm not sure why you wouldn't have gone to one about all of this. Write down your symptoms, and then head off to the quack and give him the list. Ongoing illness like this can be the signs of something big. So. Doctor.

Why aren't you telling your mum? I mean, what's wrong with telling her? Mothers care about their children.

I think you should go to a doctor. If he says nothing's wrong with you, then get a second opinion.

Yeah, I know I have. Also, I don't want to go to the doctor because of two things. Firstly, that it will be a waste of time if he tells me there's nothing wrong with me, and secondly, that he diagnoses me with a serious illness. I just keep wishing that it will go away and that it will be the end of it all. I don't want to be diagnosed with something serious, even life-threatening.

I don't want to tell my mom because she will end up worrying herself to death; I'm the same when she's ill, too. It worries me so much. Another thing is that she might not take me seriously. And another thing is that if she fusses over me, I won't want it. I don't like the sort of attention someone receives when they're ill, especially if it's me.

Knowing that you've just walked out of the doctors and your are fine and heathly is not a waste of time. It stops you from doing all this worrying.



What if it is serious? And you're not telling anyone? Do you realise that by not getting checked out you could actually be getting worse? By going to the doctors they can STOP it from getting any more serious then it may already be. But just hoping it will go away wont do anything.



I find this hard to believe. NO PARENT, not even the most uncaring selfish parent in the world would ever ignore their child or think that theyre not being serious when they say they are ill. Im sure your mum cares for you, her not taking you serious is a bunch of hobblebub.

Go to the doctors, or stop worrying. Its as simple as that.

Honestly, no matter how bad it seems, the Doctors is always the right course of action. And if you have something wrong with you, the doctor will be able to treat it and make you better.

And you don't need to tell your mum if you don't want to. Just phone the doctor and ask for an emergency appointment.

Plus you're 20, you don't have to tell your mum if nothing comes of it. The doctors won't tell your parents either, Hippocratic Oath and all that.

Seeing your doctor is free.

If you're not going to do anything about it, then I suggest you ignore it.

I couldve swore you've posted this before, Ginger, and received the exact same advice.

Just go already, or quit posting it.

Go to the doctor as soon as you can, sounds like you are pretty sick.

Go and see one doctor and then go and see another. If they both say the same thing then believe what they are saying.

If you are a hypochondriac it is very easy to fool your body into thinking it is ill all the time when there is nothing wrong. Either way a doctor will know more about it than anyone else.

Oh oh! OH! I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. Exactly. To a button, because it happened to me, and then I got these nifty pills for like.. 2 years, and now I'm better.

Too bad I don't remember what it's called. There's this like.. miracle medicine around.


*Hug* That's probably the best thing I can say to you at the moment, nothing very helpful, sorry!

Just because you haven't been diagnosed doesn't mean it's not there.
