I've been dealing with these for a few years now and they're such a major pain for me. They sometimes cause sleepless nights.
Luckily I have been keeping my health anxiety in check for quite a while so I don't typically start catastrophizing them and thinking that they're really a part of some worse health condition.
I just want to know if anyone else here struggles with them, and if it makes it difficult to sleep.
I sometimes just feel really alone with my problems I guess.
*Edit*
Turns out I have a bad medical condition possibly brought on by a side effect of a medication.
The journey out of this condition is perilous and scary.
Just what I need with my anxiety.
I guess we all live long enough that we all run into health problems eventually.
No one makes it out of life alive anyways.
I've been looking back at my posting history on the health anxiety forums here and it blows my mind just how much I lived my life in fear. Now my mortality is actually staring me in the face. It's harrowing.
