I have been reading through some earlier posts and it is a bit strange how we all seem to "develop" symptoms if you concentrate on one particular disease/illness.

I only had heartburn before Xmas, but after having learned that the wife of my partner's work colleague died of ovarian cancer years ago (in her 30s) and after having read an article in a magazine all about the symptoms - low and behold I suddenly have most of the symptoms.

I am still struggling with this whole anxiety concept and maybe acceptance or lack of it is my biggest problem - but if it is true, the mind is one strange thing!
