Ive always been a worrier and over the years ive convinced myself im dying of one thing or another (moles/lumps/aches/pains).
I was going through and ok period until about 3 months ago when I started having problems with my bowels, doc said it was possibly viral or another doc said IBS. While this was going on there were other niggling things going on with my body (trembling/pins & needles/hands cold etc etc) which seemed totally unrelated to the virus/IBS.
Back to the doc, did various blood tests which all came back clear.
Symptoms have all pretty much stopped except a tingling/pins & needles down one side of my face & head.
It comes and goes and I think the more I think the worse it gets and if im out with friends or doing something which is keeping my mind occupied I dont notice it.
I have just bought a book 'Its not all in your head' which ive just started about health anxiety. I didnt even know such a thing existed until googling symptoms on the internet which I realise is the worst thing you can do.
Soooo where am I at now? Some days im convinced its the worry thats causing the symptoms, other days its something life threatening :wacko:
I suppose im posting here because I think people will understand (friends just think im mad) :doh:
