Totally with you on the googling, thats my main problem and has been from the start. Just trying to keep myself busy x

Please do not Google. Remember, aside from misinformation from people who have a vested interest in having you but products, you also have some nefarious individuals who post things meant to taunt and frustrate others.

Let's be honest, do you know how many times I have Googled in the past and came across the same page as before? We know all of this, if fact we are alsmost three years into medical school given our intimate knowledge of pains, symptoms and causes.

Give yourself and break. I had a friend who used to say "probability versus possibility." Ostensibly, the fact is there is a possibility for a lot, HOWEVER the probability is you don't have an issue and its our wonderful makeup playing tricks. You said it in your opening salvo so you know it yourself.

Health anxiety is the cause - that is all. Now, you don't have to climb a mountain or skydive, just move away from the computer and enjoy your day in any way possible.

Good luck.

although alot of the time it comes up with anxiety symptoms so i think ok then ....infact thats how i found this site but instead of goggling i go on here and find most of us get the same symptoms its finding a way of taking control them :)
