Is anyone else a hypochindriac?
Not a malingerer or someone looking for attention but a true hypochondriac? I get myself so worked up thinking I have all the symptoms of any given disease and I absolutely hate feeling this way!!!
I was just curious if there is anyone else like this??

Used to be. Please stay of of Dr. Google.
The internet did not go to med school.
Once I stopped looking up everything I felt better. I didn't find the need to have control of the things I couldn't control.

Re: Is anyone else a hypochindriac?
I just looked up symptoms of hypochondria and I am convinced I must have it!!  
In all seriousness.. I am like this completely. I let myself worry over nonsense too.  I agree with staying away from google....... but now with internet access on my phone even, it's just SO tempting!!

Re: Is anyone else a hypochindriac?
I am. It's been going on for years now. I've thought I had every disease from every kind of cancer to Lupus to Multiple Sclerosis. I've had tons of bloodwork and xrays and cat scans, and MRIs. I'm so sad and worried all the time because of it. I wish I could find some relief. Sorry you're goign through the same thing

Re: Is anyone else a hypochindriac?
Thanks everyone it helps to know that it is not just me. It all started because I did have a pretty big health issue in my 20's that kind of shook me and ever since I have been painfully aware of my own mortatility.

Re: Is anyone else a hypochindriac?
Yes, I am. It isn't that bad at the moment, BUT I have been known in the past to actually bring on symptoms of the disease I think I have at the moment.

Oh Lord I used to be, still am to a degree. It has gotten better as I have gotten older but I was terrible. I used to cry if my head hurt thinking I was going to had an brain aneurysm.

Re: Is anyone else a hypochindriac?
My DH and MIL both.
They will see an ad on TV and are convinced they have it. Recently, I took DH to the doc to have all the regular tests done to check his heart, chest, etc. Doc told him his test came back normal and DH said he is going to keep going back until they find something wrong
It hurts me to always see him feel like he has something "wrong"

Anyone can drive themselves nuts reading everything there is to read online, and usually their source of information is not reliable.

Re: Is anyone else a hypochindriac?
Yes and I'm on this thread now because it popped up when I searched LIF for multiple sclerosis because I'm convinced I have the symptoms.
I am absolutely a true hypochondriac. It's not fun.

I'm not but my Mom is. Big time. Anytime she reads or hears something, she automatically says she has it...It is hard to deal with...
