Hi all Im just wondering if there is anyone who has or is experiencing same or similar symptoms - cos to be honest I feel its only me!
I have been diagnosed as having hyperchondritis ( im a Hyperchondriac!) I was upset with this diagnosis as I felt it meant Im making it all up or it was all in my head. Ive seen the neurologist and had brainscans etc - no abnormality apparently. He feels it is anxiety and just recently said he feels I am obssesive. I take imipramine but will soon be taking clomipramine to deal with the OCD. The drug has a side effect of tremor as if i dont look silly enough walking funny. Anyhow 1 symptom that really gets to me and to be honest is ruining my life is that I walk with a limp/ drag my left foot. I also walk leaning back -Idont reaslise Im doing it till I catch my reflection. people always comment saying is my back sore this is very embarassing. I really hate checkouts because i get so embarassed and people ask if Im ok. I feel that my left side is not working properly my left hand/arm is the same. 2 years on the neurologist is still unable to find anything wrong. Im sick and tired of being like this. I have two lovely children & partner and I dont want them to see me like this. please does anyone have any thoughts??
