Good morning 

this is going to be like something out of a novel but I’m absolutely petrified at the moment but here goes.

around 2 and a half years ago I began experiencing excessive sweating, flushed face, nausea and an urgent need to open my bowels. I attend endocrinology and they said I had hyperhidrosis. If you’ve not heard of it, it causes excessive sweating. Up until 3 months ago I learnt to live with but then I began having frequent episode of facial flushing, nausea, urgent need to open bowels, sometimes loose stools sometimes “normal” as each day goes on my symptoms are getting worse.

i am waiting for my 24 hour 5HIAA urine results but I’m so worried about the result. Lots of questions are running around my head, has it spread, will I die, what will my children do, what’s the treatment it’s really affecting me, I’m not sleeping, eating, I’ve gone from being very sociable to rotting on the sofa, any advice is appreciated thank you
