Hi
I just wanted to share some thoughts to fellow sufferer's of HA.
I have had HA now for well over 10 years. You name it, i have had it!
It has only really come to a head now that my son was born 6 months ago for me to realise that enough was enough and that i have responsibilities now to him and my wife.
What i have found with myself and every ailment i have had is that focussing on a particular body part, consitently checking myself, googling the internet etc, talking to friends and family about my supposed illness really just add's fuel to the fire in believing you have something seriously wrong with you.
You get into a habit that takes over your life, you cant get these terrible thoughts out of your head that in turns fuels the negative thoughts and so on and so on.
What i have found is that you really really must try hard to occupy your mind (my son) and focussing on something other than your negative health concerns. Think to yourself that this is not going to take over your life, you are young with so much to live for. Get angry with your thoughts for letting you feel this way for so long as you really do deserve better.
I have not had a single health concern now for 6 months months as i have been so busy either at work or looking after my son that i have not had the time to worry as i used to. To me this really does prove that postive thoughts, keeping occupied and not feeling sorry for yourself goes a long way to feeling better and leading a normal life that all HA sufferer's long for.
I hope these words can help even one person to overcome there worries and concerns.
