Man, i've been dying for years, too. At least in my head. It's terrible.

And I totally agree with the person saying not to look up your symptoms on the internet (as my friend says, "it's the devil.")!

I think I wouldnt be as worse as I am if I didnt look up sytpoms on the net.....Internet actaully makes you worse.

Why dies the internet make you worse its so true

You know theres actually a name for continuasley looking up health problems and symptoms. "cyberchondria" look it up

No, I can't look up cyberchondria! I'm not allowed to look up any more diseases!!!
Although I want to reeeeeeealllly bad!

Lol

That's right.

I had symptoms for cancer and my doc kept giving me anti-biotics and said it was an infection. I went on the internet and typed in my symptoms and wham! There it was, testicular cancer!


I followed the progress of demanding for a ultrasound and in less than a week I was under the surgeons knife.


I had a terratoma tumour which is a particular rare and aggressive cancer. My urologist and oncologist said I just caught it in time, a week later it may have been a different story. Well that was two years ago now and i'm still in remission thanks to the internet.


Moral of my story is: follow your gut feeling and do what ever you can to help yourself.


I'm a long term sufferer of anxiety to top it all off but already have made a friend through this board who is helping me, he knows who he is.


Power to the people and the internet.
