Hi Jem and welcome on board I have been suffering from anxiety about health for many years so I know how you feel, I have got worse just lately. Aug of last year I got diognosed with a underactive thyroid I have hypo/ Hashsi's it's where my immune system has turned against me. I had been going to the doctors seven months previous to this, complaining that I had pains and felt really fatigue; i put weight on all of the time, my doctor kept telling me that it was anxiety. But i kept going back and eventually he did a blood test, and about four days later I recieved a phone call from my Doc saying that I had this underactive and that is probably why I had been feeling like I had for so long. So you can see why I have got worse beacuse I really do have a disease that effects me from my head to toe, and there is no cure except the medication, like yourself, I do not like to take medication; but in this case and now I have no choice.
What I have tried to do, is use this site as often as I can, I like contributing to it, as do I really love reading up about other people helping, I do try to do my bit on here as I know everyone else does. I do use the thyroid board alot though, they are so helpful over there, but I am sure they are here also.
Lets keep each other posted, have liked hearing from you. I really do hope you start feeling better soon, I know it feels like a long hard climb but in the end I am sure we will eventually climb the mountain with flying colours.
Take care keep in touch Mandy... xxx
