    when are tests / scans enough?

    I have had physical symptoms for over 10 years. Drs have not found any significant abnormalities after several scans and tests over the years. I have severe anxiety that physical illness is the cause of my physical symptoms. It seems logical to me even though I also know that my anxiety also causes symptoms.
    I cannot accept that there is nothing seriously wrong with me physically. Over this time I have had 2 colonoscopies, 2 endoscopies ,2 abdominal ct scans ,3 mrcp scans and 6 abdominal ultrasounds. when is enough testing enough?
    I have had psychological help and medication too.
    Is there anyone out there similar??

    p.s.the scans have always come back
    "no abnormality"
    "no significant abnormality"
    or "essentially normal"
    the last two wordings set alarm bells ringing with me immediately
