Hi
Happy New Year to all my friends on here:bighug1:
Thanks to all the help and support i got in 2008 I can say i am going in to a New year feeling better than i did last New Year---as at that point i didnt know what was wrong with me( I honestly didnt know that HA existed!!!).
Anyhow, just as i am feeling somewhat better(I have had a course of CBT this last year too) I have started with a new worry.Last night when i went to bed(I might add i hadnt had a drink or anything so cant blame that for triggering my anxiety) I was looking at my legs.
I noticed that the right thigh is bigger(though actually measures less when i measure it with the tape measure:ohmy:) than my left. When i press it it feels harder and definately looks bigger ---on the outer side if that makes sense!!!!. I am not the slimmest person---I need at least 2 stones off!!!so my legs are a little on the fatter side!!!!!- and my OH says it is muscle and that both sides of the body arent the same. I have spent the day on and off looking at it and thinking i am maybe starting with a blood clot or something. Or, worse still , it may be related to my lymph glands worry(biggest fear is lymphoma!!!).I do do lots of walking so can maybe think it is a muscle!!!!
I havent had the best of Xmasses(family arguments!!!) and therefore have felt very stressed which in turn does trigger my anxiety!!!!
Can anyone reassure me that this is normal??
Arrrr I hate this HA !!!!!! XX
