I've had health anxiety since I was a little kid - I remember reading about rare diseases in a health book my family has at eight or so and spending weeks being terrified I had one of them.
It's gotten a lot worse in the past year, though, (I'm 21) and right now I'm convinced I have MS.
My right eye has been aching for months, now. I can't tell if it's blurry or not, but I think it is, a little bit. It doesn't usually hurt a lot, just a dull ache, though tonight I felt this horrible piercing pain in it for a few seconds. Terrifying.
I have other issues too - numb hands when I laugh, stabbing pains in my stomach, an incredibly sore lower back that my GP has no idea what to do about, nausea.
I was supposed to go get my eye checked out by a specialist in September, but I ended up away because of a family emergency, and now I feel too guilty that I missed it to go back to my GP (who has horrible bedside manner anyway). I'm probably going to go to my campus health services to see if they can refer me, but that will take forever. I've been worried sick about MS for months now, and I'm tired of it.
