List of all ilnesses you were certain you had.

[Gee]

It all started with being worried about herpes when someone I know got it then it progressed....

HIV (progression from the herpes worry)
MS ( close family friend diagnosis- watched him with it, still battling the neuro symptoms that the doc says are anxiety)
Breast cancer (fibroadenoma in pregnancy)
Bowel cancer (roids in pregnancy)
MS again
MS again and again and again


Funny how I might attribute a symptom to MS but others might attribute it to brain tumors/ ALS etc which are all things which I don’t worry about ... HA is so illogical!

[littlemissworry.x]

Brain tumour
Breast cancer
Dementia
Cervical cancer
Thyroid cancer
Melanoma
Stroke
Liver failure
Graves disease
Kidney failure
Bowel cancer
Tonsil cancer
Throat cancer
Lymphoma


None of these ever got diagnosed but was convinced I had every single one!
What a waste of time but I just cant snap out of it.

ooh boy...where do i begin
over the years ive convinced myself that i thought i had:
-leukemia
-vCJD
-brain tumor
-heart issues
-pulmonary embolism (which is a current fear)
-lymphoma
-cervical dystonia
-diabetes
-brain aneurysm
-deep vein thrombosis
and so many other little ones that i cant even remember off the top of my head...

[Hexopuss]

Lets see:

- Lymphoma (had a moderately palpable lymph node)
- Heart Attack
- Stroke
- Mouth Cancer
- Throat Cancer
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (part of current worry, have one risk factor (oral estrogen))
- Breast Cancer
- Hyperkalemia
- Pulmonary Embolism (related to the DVT worry)

[Cptdebbie]

My anxiety has been going on so long I probably can’t remember most things I’ve been certain I had, but here goes:

Brain tumor
Leukemia
Lymphoma
Multiple Myeloma
Alzheimers
Ovarian cancer
Kidney Cancer
Bladder Cancer
Colon Cancer
Stomach Cancer
Oral Cancer
Epilepsy
Sarcoma
Lupus
Thyroid Cancer
ALS
MS
BreastCancer
Melanoma
Vaginal Cancer
Anal Cancer
Heart Attack
Stroke

Its ironic, in a sad way, that I’ve never worried about lung cancer. No one in my family has ever smoked. Yet, my husband died of nonsmoker’s lung cancer. Even more strange, I’ve worried about so many diseases, and my hubby never had any anxiety about his health. He assumed all his body quirks were normal until he suddenly got very very sick.

Listing these to try to make me face up to my health anxiety.
Stroke
MS
Melanoma
Diabetes
Rheumatoid arthritis
None of these were diagnosed
Currently worried about heart disease and angina, but thinking back I have worried about this before.
Also waiting for a colonoscopy.
Health anxiety draining..
