Hi Eileen, I answered in the EU topic, thanks for checking in. Food is fantastic here, not my major pleasure now, but I hope appetite will knock at my door again smile

Cheryl, thank you very much as well. I appreciate the honesty of your words, as you say none but the single person knows if sth is wrong with him/herself and, to answer your question, no unfortunately I am not actively trying to loose weight, and moreover I am petite by nature, which scares me even more.
None has been able to give me any precise proof of all these symptoms so far, they just keep on saying this is stress, but the small bleeding factor does not reassure me at all, especially when they talk about little blood vessels breaking in my mouth (I was a regular nose-bleeder in my childhood and can very easily distinguish a massive bleeding due to a little vein from the scarce, yet continuous bleeding I have been suffering from my mouth for months now). Still, my reasoning that is dictated by experience does not seem to impress doctors.

I had an MRI last week, as you might have seen from my previous posts, but God only knows why this did not include the neck. It was done on my mouth, but how to explain this, it was just taken on the face from head to mouth - it shows my lower theeth as you can see them in the mirror, full stop.
I trust the DR who read them, but the point is that the exam was directed to a minor part, therefore (in my opinion) was not complete.
They did see the tonsils, and one looks slightly bigger than the other, obviously the one that is aching. Radiologists say this is not pathological, i.e. takes no enhancement after contrast, that it just looks slightly different and that I should not worry and get back to a normal life.
Well, normal life when you need 14 hrs sleep a day plus a nap in the afternoon, you feel no hunger and you moderately bleed every day from your mouth sounds a bit pretentious if you allow me the idea.

Cheryl, will read your story (I already did before you posted but need to refresh as I've been around the website and my mind is pretty full now). I know none of us is a DR here and each story is different, but would you mind - if that is not too personal, describing me the bleeding size and frequency? Should you find my question is too direct, I beg your pardon, but if you feel like, pls PM me. Having some evidence would give me more strenghth with the ENT, that I am scheduled to see on Fry, 12.30 local time (which means in about 30 hrs).

I appreciate your support, and please take care.

PS: you do not have to worry about the hospitals, we have the 2 major cancer centers here; funny enough, I tested one for the ENT, the visit was quite superficial and endoscopy came back negative; now I am afraid I will have to test the 2nd one.
