Hypochondria

[Kuma]

If you, or someone you love, suffers from healthy anxiety or hypochondria, you might be able to relate to -- or perhaps even be amused by -- this column from today's New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/22/style/how-hypochondriacs-say-i-love-you.html?_r=0

LOL: "The advent of Google was a windfall for me — and trouble. I suffered from breast cancer, mesothelioma and a heart defect. I contracted swine flu, malaria and a brain-eating amoeba. The doctors couldn’t find any of these ailments, however, no matter how hard they looked."

Good article, except for the bit where she wakes up paralysed and blind.. A doctor once told me I could wake up blind because of my diabetes and the fact I hadn't been treating it (I didn't know I had it!) I've spoken to other doctors since who agree he was being a bit dramatic and trying to scare me. I never really got over that though! So doctors contribute to hypochondria as well..

That was great. Reminds me of when I was younger

Oh how I miss those dreadful days!
