I've got a few issues at the moment (haven't I always !) - a 10mm polyp in my gallbladder and some pain in my lower right bowel. I'm on a waiting list to get the gallbladder removed. Apparently, polyps over 10mm are more likely to be cancerous or to turn cancerous over time. I've had a pain in my appendix area (lower right bowel) for several years. I saw the GP about it in 2013 (I think) and he dismissed it. It's been getting a bit worse these past few months and I mentioned it to the consultant when I saw him yesterday regarding my gallbladder. He poked me about a bit and found a spot that made me yelp. He's now sending me for a CT scan.
Those of you who know me of old will know I'm a bugger for health anxiety and automatically assume the worst case scenario. I just searched the forum for 'health anxiety' and came across my threads from 2015 when I basically had a meltdown. I'd forgotten how bad I was until I re-read it.
I'd also forgotten what a good bunch of guys you are and how you all came to my aid with advice and offers of phone numbers and PMs etc and I just wanted to say how much it was appreciated. Thank you.
I do love this place
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.

I had my Gallbladder removed a few years ago. Ill tell you what really helped before and after the OP....
Apple Cider vinegar with mother root in it... one teaspoon a day. Really really helped
Seriously, don't leave us.
its been my personal experience that ‘most’ people are really quite lovely.
If nobody diagnoses you it isn't real.
This may not be the most sound advice you've ever had...but I wish you all the best.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youYou are a character, the world needs characters, full stop. All the best to you mate.
Earlier in the week I made the trip from Singapore to Tasmania to see mum (which was 3 flights in under 24 hours) and I ended up dehydrated and exhausted whilst rushing about trying to organise nursing homes for mum
Rather than take care of myself I pushed through it until I couldn't- got myself to the emergency department last night about 11pm and then had an 8 hour stay in the emergency department until they could rehydrate me.
If I'd taken care of myself and taken it easy I'd not have wasted the time of 3 nurses and a doctor, avoided a lot of stress and hassle and be able to continue helping my mum, rather than sitting on the sofa with rehydration solution like I am now.
All the best @Emp_Fab ;
And @octatonic take care of yourself fella, the last thing your family need is you getting ill at this time.
