I came across this today and chuckled. Believe me I am not poking fun at anyone, I suffer from several HA myself to the point I am on medication. I hope it makes just one of you smile today :)
20 Things Only Hypochondriacs Will Understand
1. Getting a second opinion means checking WebMD AND the Mayo Clinic.
2. You’ve correctly self-diagnosed yourself at least once…and that makes the paranoia even worse.
3. You take chest pain very seriously, which is why you always think you are having a heart attack.
4. When you get a little sick, you lie awake thinking it’s something worse, and then you get sicker.
5. The Mayo Clinic Symptom Checker has completely ruined your mental health.
6. Your friends and family routinely ban you from googling your symptoms.
7. Headache…or tumor? Cyst…or tumor? Birthmark…or tumor? Cheerio that fell down your shirt…or tumor?
8. You don’t get backaches, you get kidney problems.
9. Poop issues are the worst, because they’re scary AND you can’t tell anyone about them.
10. When your doctor asks about your symptoms, they’re all direct quotes from WebMD.
11. Sometimes you wish your appendix would just burst and get it over with, already.
12. Any tiny symptom that lasts for longer than a week is no longer a tiny symptom.
13. You’re constantly worried that your doctor might be having an off day when you visit.
14. You sometimes feel completely overwhelmed by all the degenerative illnesses that run in your family.
15. Crooked smile? Nerve damage or stroke
16. You’re relieved when you receive antibiotics. BUT WHAT IF YOU’RE ALLERGIC TO THE ANTIBIOTICS?
17. You know exactly how much it costs to go to the emergency room.
18. You suspect that sometimes your doctor is giving you a prescription just to make you go away.
19. Any hangover that lasts longer than a day is obviously mono or the flu.
20. If you don’t get better after antibiotics, it’s because your infection has now mutated into a super bacteria, which will end the world.
