Think i'm going to die soon

Right now it isn't hurting, which I'm thankful for, but it feels like there's a balloon in there or something. It's impossible to ignore.

I do know that lots of people with anxiety and other mental problems get the symptom of a lump in the throat. That's really common, and really can be caused by the mind! So I'm quite sure that it's nothing for you to be concerned about, though I know that's easier said than done.

Unfortunately, though mental issues can make you more aware of pelvic pains, they can't really cause them. So there's something going on with me.

I've often thought the same thing about how my throat feels, there's something there I'd swear to it, but all the evidence says there isn't, so although all the professionals tell me one thing, I still don't believe them. I guess that's just the nature of the problem. Anxiety can cause so much physical distress from stomach problems, headaches you name it. The problems themselves are genuine problems, it's just the causes aren't as hellish and dramatic as we think. Easy to say though, that's never how it feels

Time will tell, I guess. I haven't had any tests that could confirm whether there's something there or not. Well, I had an ultrasound three months ago which looked clear... but that only rules out large masses. Not small masses, or any problems hidden away in organ linings. So all I have to go on is what the doctors say, and they just think it's unlikely there is something wrong. But I think it's likely there is, and I'm the one who is feeling these things!

So until I have a conclusive test, such as a hysteroscopy and maybe a biopsy, nobody can say either way.

I've made enquiries at a private hospital today. A private hysteroscopy would be £1700, which I can stretch to.

The latest is that my doctor thinks I will need an exploratory laparoscopy (under GA, of course!) Seeing gynae on the 25th.
