Hi Forrest

Welcome to the forum. Health anxiety is common and surfing the internet for symptoms does make the situation worse, as you concentrate on the worst possible scenario and look for confirmation of what you fear is wrong.

Have a look at the First Steps (http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/default.asp?t=cms&c=firststeps) and Symptoms (http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/default.asp?t=cms&c=symptoms) information, as well as the article about Health Anxiety (http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/default.asp?t=cms&c=healthanxiety).

Have you had any help from a therapist to assist you with these issues?

Hi Forest, I have had similar health anxietys on and of for many years now and if the tests show nothing is wrong you should try to realx and not worry about it. I have in the past made myself realy Ill with worry about health and xiety, I am now 56 and still alive so look at all the years IO have wasted making myself Ill thinking I am realy Ill? Try to Relax and not worry about it is best, take care. Vernon

Forrest -

If your LFT's are fine, why have you decided that its liver disease/ nerve disease you have ?

Are you the sort of person that once that is disproved will find something else to worry about instead ?

All your symptoms are common ones for acute anxiety.

If you have seen 12 doctors then it is really about time you accepted that you are not about to keel over and IF it is something , then in time it will become more apparant, meanwhile, you might be better off using your energies to try to resolve some of these symptoms yourself in a holistic way.

You are right meg at first i though i had hep a-b are c was tested for that and it was neg then i thought i had hiv and it was neg i have had six liver tests and all is normal then i thought it was my gallbladder had a hida scan and two ultrasounds of my liver and gallbladder all was normal then i thought i might have fabrys dease because of the type of skin problem i have with anginomas and that test was neg but with all the testing i have had done they only found one little thing i have a small hernia in my belly button...lol but sometimes i worry about that thinking it might be cancer and not a hernia are it pushing on nerves and thats why my shoulders burn and go numb..

[Meg]

It never fails to amaze me how in the USA, you can get any doctor to request test and get it done again and again just because you ask for it and without any supporting clinical presentation. Does nothing for addressing HA.

Here, it can be the other end of the spectrum, where people who really need tests have to wait months..

Forrest - Thank you for your honesty. I 'm glad you are fully healthy.
You have a health anxiety disorder and really need to turn your attention and energy to dealing and resolving that and the associated symptoms.
