Hi Gemma,
I have some kind of pain or ache or illness symptom most of the time, hence my nickname! I think sometimes they are caused from tension you carry in your body, sometimes theyre imaginary. If I read about an illness, its not uncommon for me to have the symptoms soon after. I feel stupid just typing this, but at the time they feel real and are terryfying. I could list all the symptoms I have now and what I think I have wrong with me but Id be here all night!
Take care.

yes!! i do this all the time! :(

I always get symptoms thats arn't there! The brain is such a clever thing.

I call it the spider effect - when you are watching a programme about bugs, you always get itchy don't you and feel like they are on you! Its the same thing

Hope this helps xx
