Anxiety adrenaline waves every AM waking me from sleep.

BTW, I don’t think being concerned about your health makes you a hypochondriac. If my mother had died from pancreatic cancer, any tumors, including adenomas would have given me cause for concern. My mother had type 1 DM, and she developed chronic renal insufficiency not too long after she was dxed (58), but she made it to 93.5. But before she passed she ended up in the hospital, and they had her undergo an MRI only to tell her they believed she had a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. When she heard that she told them she wanted to go home on hospice, and that’s exactly what she did. She had a full life, I only wish my father hadn’t died 30 years before her.

Right. I don’t think I’m hypochondriac but I have honestly been to hundreds of appointments in the last two and a half years. For people who don’t know me, I can see how they might draw that conclusion.

My mom was 77 when she died. Right now I don’t expect to have a long life, and frankly that’s ok with me because the quality of my life has been so poor for such a long time.

If I can get well, I want to live, if I can’t get well, I’m ready to go.
I’ve lost most of my hearing and my eyes are terribly messed up. These issues keep me dizzy and unable to function. Not to mention the anxiety and issues we’ve been discussing. It just isn’t a life.
I had always been quite healthy, and I’m not good at being an invalid.
I’m very close to giving up.
