Sorry to read this and although I cannot offer help, you are correct that we are not alone and our family doctor, and others, think we are hypochondriacs! I don't know your age but I am almost 80 and since I had cancer of cervix in 1985 it seems like now one thing after another and as soon as get relief from one problem, one of the others flares up. I have a few of the same issues as you... and often wonder if it's possibly "one thing" causing all mine ... I have wondered if all of these things I was "born with" or predisposed to, that's the only thread I can think of/hereditary? I sure treasure the odd hour/s here and there when I fell reasonably well. (Occular migraines; cancer; IBS-D/fecal incontinence; Fibro?; Narrow Angle Glaucom/floatgers; Cysts on kidneys; essential tremour; mild p.n. in lower arms and legs; Half thyroid and goitre removed so now hypothyroid; small stroke; chronic sinusitis; moderate hearing loss and ear pain; cystitis; and like you a few more!! Not life threatening but life altering, and I read on here and know of others who are coping with much more than I am - and I am not coping well and sprinkling of anxiety and depression: people say it could be worse and it could, but quality of life for me just isn't there any more. I wish you the best and hope you get some comments that help improve things for you... take care .... J.

It's hard some days to keep on going I'm 40 this year and all this just started at 30. I had a hysterectomy in February that helped with some of my women's issues. So I'm doing better than normal, it's all just pilling up the past two weeks, it seems like everything has to flare up one right after the other, I wish you well in your journey.
