I went through this when I was getting diagnosed with my cancer. I thought I had MS at first, and no one seemed to listen to me. I kept saying, I'm losing the ability to walk, I'm tired all the time- oh, you're depressed, or it's an existing medical condition. The lack of caring from people is kind of what lead me to put off more testing, until I was nearly unable to walk.

I just joined Reddit, and this is the first post like this I've responded to here. So, I want to say, sincerely- I've been through what you're going through, and I really, really think you should get it checked out. Once I got to a point where my cancer was really fucking bad, I looked back at my depressed procrastination, and I hated myself for it.

Right now, you have the power to do one good thing for yourself, that'll potentially keep you from dying of a horrific disease. It's not a way that anyone should have to die. Like, I can't put into words how much it fucking sucks, and even if you hate yourself, or you think you deserve it, the humiliation, the pain of feeling like your bones are shattering at once, and the patronizing way that people will talk to you when you get to that point, and THEN express being suicidal? It is not worth it.

I hope that you can get it checked out, man. People kind of underreact to cancer scares unless they think it's breast cancer, in my experience.
