Thyroid nodule on scan?

We never know our pre existing conditions like I say because often we are sent on the two week referal for suspected cancer and they don't see you for anything else or try to find the cause of your symptoms. They refer back to your gp who knows it is not cancer then but we dont get other tests other than the odd blood test. We are then left worrying but at least it's not cancer. That's when we end up self diagnosing and putting things together ourselves. It was the same with my bppv. 3 plus years I had that with a little one. Ok it was a simple diagnosis but they never referred me or took any notice because I had the hypertension too. I paid and went private. My neurologist knew exactly what I had. Crystals inner ear and I had the epely manoeuvre done to glue them back. The worrying I did was horrible. I honestly had never been ill before really. It was something my doctor could have diagnosed but they wouldn't watch. It was thought to be depression. Anxiety. But no it was visable and treatable with 5 minutes. But I had to pay. I was worried it was something serious all that time. I went needy. Something that I'd never been. I gave up. I couldn't move my head back without going spinning. My eyes would go violently up and down. They were only interested in giving me antidepressants. Anti anxiety meds. 

Even after I was treated I admit I worried a little because my nystagmus was not typical of this disease. Why also would someone so young 31 suddenly get bppv. I hadn't had an head injury or I wasn't old. 

They did do a brain scan tho. I admit I always followed up bppv beca use I was curious. 

I slept with a bucket and fell over getting up to my little one. I was having driving lessons but I couldn't look back without spinning so I was advised to give up. It wasn't safe. 

Something so simple but I wasn't referred. I had to pay because I had children. 

My bppv started about two weeks after my daughter was born. I was hugging my husband in the kitchen and bang. I tilted my head and went into,a spin motion. I told everyone to watch what happened. It was visable. I felt a freak,tbh. I was treated as postnatal depression but this had a lot to do with my problems. 

My ear was caused by an infection inside and certainly wasn't typical cholesteatoma. My face was infection, my eyes was infection. I was hospilised years ago in isolation for a time because of infection with intraveous antibiotics but we never knew what it was I worry about infection becsuse I know infection can cause lots. Naturally I'm curious if these all relate. I was told by my surgeon that it was a good job they did this as it was close to my brain. 

Then a couple of years ago all the nodes around my head came up. They stayed up for months. I  was worried about infection again but my doc said they'd refer me but didn't. I obviously had an infection but this one that had stayed for years stayed and went huge. It hurt. Never hurt before. I left it but eventually went to get antibiotics. A few months later my face started swelling as if an allergy. I didn't go because it went down. It was after waking up. I looked like elephant man. I thought ongoing infection either head or neck.I take photos. So looking back jenny I think I have health anxiety too. Nothing is wrong. I just think there is maybe. That's why I'm under mental,health now. 

Just had my call from mental health. 6 month wait. Im not in any danger though. By then I may have worked it out on here lol.

Anyway jenny. I feel your op was needed. You couldn't take your gallbladder out yourself. If something is that painful it needs doing. Half of these cancers they diagnose now are ones that most probably would never spread. They would most probably never kill you. Breast cancers, prostrate cancers, thyroid cancers, skin cancers. Technology picks them up and we have to whip them out......just in case but looking and reading about overdiagnosis now makes you think. All this money spent on screening when it actually sometimes does nothing to prolong your life or better it. It kills your joy tho. Should we worry about something we might have?? Have we been programmed by adverts and gps etc to do these checks. Is it our anxiety or theirs. Makes you think. 

Yeah jenny but often the worrying is just a cover for something else going on that you can't handle. Mental health. 

Do you see what I mean. It's a smokescreen sometimes. 

And Jenny healthcare here in uk isn't free as such. You work and pay taxes and national insurance to pay for it. Yes we can go to doctors for free and yes we are hot on cancer but if you don't have cancer and do have something else that you can't treat yourself they often will not refer you. You have to keep on and like I say, I missed a lot of life during the first years of my daughters life all because I had the bppv and they just would not listen. We hadn't got Internet then. I was spinning Everytime I tilted my head, lay down, turned over in bed and drove myself crazy (and I think MOST people would tbh) thinking I had something really serious. It was simple to treat, simple to a doctor to diagnose and if I'd been referred earlier I think my life would not have been better. I was just told I was depressed and anxious. I was because I had something I had no idea what it was for so long. Our system is messed up,too I think. 

Jenny it could be anything. A simple infection. They have to stay up for a long time and even then it can be normal for you. Nothing else. And I was on watch and wait and I'm still here. Couldn't help go ogling tho. I still probably have them now. They are Normal for me. I don't work tho jenny and I have tooooo much time on my hands and I think too deep often. I'm Ill. Lonely a lot but I can cope with lonely. Normal for me again but it's horrible when I have an health scare. I don't have a choice than to Google. I can't pile it on anyone. It's my problem  No one really wants to listen or gives a s**t really because it's just a scare. Nothing else and no one knows what you're going through until it happens to them. 

Jenny I have had health anxiety .......bad health anxiety. It was just a smokescreen perhaps for my feeling so insecure anyway. It's not normal but there is a root cause often. 

I can't understand your being lonely jenny. You work, have loving families. Have you explored it. 

And Jenny even if it is lymphoma it's treatable. I know a few who have it. You wouldn't know. It doesn't  seem to affect their lives much. Depression and anxiety tho....?

You shouldn't feel lonely tho jenny.is this new or something from a long time. I've always been lonely. Right from childhood. No one's fault. Just life. 

Or jenny are you just naturally curious about things. I like to find things out but must admit sometimes you can know too much can't you and then your head does overtime. I don't drink, I don't take drugs and I don't have hobbies and now I don't go out. The Internet is actually bad for me. I have questions in my head and Google everything. It gives me answers all because I don't have friends or family. I don't know what makes me happy because I spend my time hopefully making others happy. 

And a lot of my go ogling is to help me to make relationships because I always seem to mess them up. I'm not liked but it has to be something wrong with ME. I think I'm being nice but obviously not. If i was normal I'd have lots of friends, be able to work not  worry about psychical health. I know I have my husband and my kids, but sometimes I need other adults but don't know how to make friend's tbh. Ive always struggled. . I don't even have a relationship with my mum and sister. It's horrible jenny but I don't understand you being lonely???

Sometimes lonely people can hope they have these things. Either to give them something to fight as they are giving up for some reason . Its supposed to be the biggest fight you'll face.

 I don't think these things tho. I get told I have maybe have  them and then curiosity takes over I think. I don't want any more fights. I've had enough.
