hi eggy,
i think if anyone with anxiety spent alot of time reading up on mnd or any other illness would prob start to convince themselves they were ill. no one is saying you are not experiencing these symptoms i my self have facial numbness but i know its due to tension! and the more i focus on it the worse it gets.... but if i focus on my finger for a long time then my finger becomes numb! anxiety can convince you of many things and it all feels VERY VERY real. and feeding the fear by reading about it and constantly thinking about it just keeps it going until one day when u wake up and realise you have wasted most of your life telling your self you have some horrible disease you never really had. get help for the anxiety once you have the anxiety under control and can see clearly things will fall in to place. good luck xxx
