I have been going to doctors for years for numorous of things. I had lyme disease when was a child 3x from different ticks. I was paralyezed from the waist down from one episode. I often wonder if what I have going on stems for that. I did get treatment each time Ampicylin for 2weeks.
I have had other things happen like abuse which gave me PTSD so now I have a psychologicol problem added to my list. Most of the time when I see the doctors they think I'm crazy. I have had 2 chest tubes. And tumor in my appendix the size of my fist. I have joint pains , knees, hips, fingers, upper back. I do have chest pain at times but lately it has been a pressure. Makes it hard to breath and swallow. I could taste the acid in my throught. I just got a scope done and they said I have an enjarged esophagus. No biggy I guess. But I wonder why I have an enlarged prostate, bladder and esophagus going on. What else is there enlarged. I have nerve damage too. Hands feet and face. HELP :

I'm on quite a few meds, I take Detrol LA, Zantac, Ambien, Zoloft. I have been on cypro but I haven't been to the prostate doctor in a while. I would think if I was a hyprochodriact I would have no actually symptoms like tumors and collapesed lungs and tick bytes that made my legs not function for a period of time. Numbess in my hands feet and face. I do get disability. I don't want it. I just want to know why my organs are swelling. This acid reflux is new and its always the new thing to drive me nutty. So hard to swallow and it always has that nasty taste.

I do belive you have the issues you say you do..... I don't think its all in your head.. but im sure you do also have some psychological issues... PTS etc... probably depression...anxiety... other stuff... but Lyme disease causes multiple long term problems.. and all sorts of side effects.... I really wouldnt think that the enlarged esophagus has ANY thing to to with the enlarged prostate and bladder.... the esophagus could be due to a number of issues... ??GERD?? who knows.. but you had the scope done.. and doc..said not a big deal so dont worry about that...the appendix was old issue... the enlarged prostate i maybe concerned of.. due to risk of prostate cancer.. you probably have regular blood tests done though to screen for cancer or tumor markers.. just cont.. to get this checked and monitored as normal... the bladder?? um.. maybe due to your immobility... also im sure the other joint pains... etc.. pains.. same issue immobility.. long term effects of the lyme disease... could just be good old arthritis...wouldnt worry about al the old stuff or stuff you really cant do anything about.. dont need antibiotics.. unless have an infection.. UTI or something.... i would just try to relax.. monitor your prostate as ordered.. drink plenty of fluids.. be as mobil as you can... alternate heat and cold... which ever works best for your joint pains... eat a diet that isnt going to be tooo.. acidic.. prolly why you have the bad taste in your mouth... enlarged esoph..causing acid reflux... maybe take some kinda ant-acid.... don't worry about other organs becoming enlarged.. be as healthy as you can.. enjoy everyday of life.... dont worry about tom.. or yesterday... only can do what you can ... live in today.. and enjoy.. the good things you do have in life....

You are too young for an enlarged prostate; All males will have prostate enlargement with age - u have to wait your turn for that. Are you also drinking a lot: you mention dry mouth? Check out Diabetes Insipidus [nothing to do with the common type of Diabetes - Diabetes Mellitus]

I think that you might be just a hypochondriac, and this is another disease for your brain to add to the list. You are truly a walking miracle.
Change your thinking and you change everything. Your thoughts have been manifesting over and over. I think is time to shape up your thinking. See a psychiatrist to get to the root of your problems.
