Sick Again

[Digz]

Physical sickness is a reoccurring theme for me, suspected to be caused by the stress.
Recently, I have, again, been ill. I get to the point where I am just so sick of being sick all the time!
This time I've been having trouble with my stomach and the doctors haven't been able to work out what's causing the pain. I often have symptoms, mystery illnesses that modern medicine ends up saying, "I don't know what caused it". My answer, my thinking, is usually PTSD.
This time, however, I've been sent for a CT scan on my abdomen to try and determine the cause, as the pain has been really bad.
I'm trying to take the old calm approach I usually have, but I'm starting to freak out that maybe this time they're actually going to find something. It most probably is nothing again, just caused by stress. But there's a tiny voice that keeps worrying, keeps thinking of my three year old son and thinking, what if it's something bad?
I find out the results of the scan tomorrow.

Walking with you on this one Digz. It is like a double edged sword isn't it? If there is something wrong, that is bad. If there isn't something wrong that is bad too. *heavy sigh*. :hug:

Hang in there @Digz and keep us posted please. I'll be thinking of you.

It's a tough one. Trauma in the body does do us harm over a long period of time. I believe it does anyhow. All that stress is bound to effect us physically at some point.

We're here for you.

Have you been checked for ulcers @Digz? I've had them since childhood and ANY big stress flares 'em up something fierce.

I often have stomach upset, though not pain. I know it's stress because of when it comes on. I hope your CT scan shows nothing wrong. Let us know how it turns out. Keeping you in my thoughts.

I have had my stomach checked before @WildMermaid , but I think they might have been looking at my intestines this time, so I'm not sure what they will turn up. I have wondered about ulcers before myself.

Thanks for all your support guys, it means a lot.
