(((((((((((InA)))))))))))))),

I know how stress can make us very very sick.....but the sick is a reality & needs to be taken care of even if the cause is stress.

Three years ago, I went through a horrible trauma when my Mother was dying of cancer. Stress always causes me to feel nausea that I can't control....to the point where I can't eat & when it continues long enough, I can't even get fluids down without getting sick to my stomach......just how my body reacts to stress. I ended up loosing so much weight I only weighed 93 lbs & landed in the hospital the night right before my Mother died. I had to have IV nutrition & my GP put me through about $60,000 of tests to figure out what was wrong with me. They did find that my cortisol level was way out of range & it's always something that is effected by stress.

There ended up nothing they could really do to help me either....very horrible place to find ones self being that close to the possiblity of dying (according to the hospitals pdoc) & nothing anyone could really do to change it.

The thing is that they were willing to check out everything that might possibly be a physical problem like they need to check for you.....make sure those lumps aren't really something & that there isn't really something physically wrong that is causing your period to come that often. It is important to rule out everything even if it might be associated with stress, the chance that there is really something physically wrong should not be overlooked just because they want to pass it off as stress.....don't let them do that.

If it really is nothing than at least you can strike that off your list as something to be stressed over. Your stress list is large enough.....they need to do all they can to relieve you from the stress of something physically being wrong.....then you can focus on trying to lower your stress level to handle what real stresses you have going on in your life.

I am back to stress effecting my nausea right now & it's very difficult to deal with.....so I can truely feel for what you are going through right now.

My prayers are with you,
Debbie
