Hi Hay

If you are nuts then I have no hope! Like Richard I currently have many illnesses too..... Heart faliure, stroke, Tumours to name but a few and thats without the ten times Ive nearly died [:I][:I][:I]

Serioulsy tho, It is awful to have these fears but promise you it is a sore throat you have, lot of it around at the mo, I will soon get better, you will come to no harm

Hi there, You are not being silly, you certainly are not nuts and you most definately do not have throat cancer! It is, unfortunately, anxiety. Gosh how hard is all of this eh? You maybe are a little run-down, about to get a cold, or just so aware of your throatie feelings that you feel as you do. Drink lots of water, look after yourself and if possible (if only) don't let it frighten you. Your body will fight any little infections,(if not ask docs advice?) take care of yourself and keep in touch. xx

Hi,

Today I have had a bad day with my anxiety and a symtom I have had today is a sore throat, which I have had many times with anxiety.

You can get tention everywhere in your body and the throat.

Hi Hayles, sorry you're feeling so bad hun.

You're just ultra aware of every little ache and pain like all us health anxiety sufferers are! i know it's horrid but it really does sound plain and simply like a throat infection.

Take care mate

And DONT use google to self diagnose, just go to your GP and put your mind at rest...

Hi Hayles - sounds like you may be coming down with a cold. I think anxiety makes us more sensitive to how we feel and all our aches and pains. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Hi Ive had a sore throat for a couple of weeks think something is doing the rounds.
I often get ulsers in my mouth,the more anxious I feel the worse they get.
Hope you feel better soon Dawn

Thanks you guys for the reassurances.

With the wedding drawing nearer just seem to be more and more anxious, its like
i am over sensitive to every little ache, pain, twinge.
Wish i could just ignore myself!!!!!

Hope everyone is ok and thanks again xxxx
