How To Survive Health Anxiety!

[twinflame94]

I can agree so much. I found this site a few months ago and it has helped me in so many ways, knowing I wasn't alone in something that was happening to my body. It still helps me until I can go see the doctor on the 29th, and I'm sure it will after that. Whoever thought to make this site, thank you. So much. x

Great post.
I came to this site due to my returning health anxiety but have found some of the threads are just as good as Googling for symptoms. This post sums up a great amount of advice for alot of people suffering health anxiety.

How To Survive Health Anxiety.

I watched a show months ago where 3 people went to a person infront of a computer and a real doctor. The person infront of the computer incorrectly diagnosed the people who had told him his symptoms with stuff like cancer, asthma, diabetes, while the real doctor diagnoised them correctly with mild allergies, indigestion and something else I can't quite remember but it was very common and non life threatening.

This is interesting and I wish I could see this show! Thanks for posting. I need to keep in mind that the multiple doctors I've seen know more than google. My GP has been in practice since the 70s and I'm sure he's seen everything in the book, but I'm still more compelled to believe a random person on a forum for a terrible disease.

Hi Kluke, I have been getting random pains all over for years, sometimes its a leg, then an arm or shoulder, all have turned out to be nothing, it wasnt until my anxiety started in September 2012 that I learned that stress and anxiety can do this to you, if your GP says its nothing, then it probably is, hope you feel better soon
