    Its a well put together list but to be honest it is very very general and anyone could feel these symptoms.

    Maybe its here ti make us feel like 'oh thank god someone else is feeling these feelings' but to be fair i think we are more rare or unique than this.

    I, too, have been completely convinced that I have every horrific illness known to man...currently my anxiety is trying to tell me that I need a liver function test because i THINK I have a pain in the area of my liver but when i really think about it i don't actually feel a pain there at all not to mention I haven't had a drink in over four years so what could be wrong with my liver at 30 years old?! it's crazy how much influence the mind can have over the body. people who know me laugh and make fun of me because i always think there is something wrong...but i think to myself how much laughing would they do if they knew how much i REALLY obsess over it? people outside of my head only see a small portion of the activity that goes on inside my brain hahahaha! I have recently taken up yoga and meditation and i have actually found that it helps....also, going to the gym and running on a treadmill and lifting weights helps because i tell myself "if i was dying would i be able to do all of these things?" hahaha

    So, after reading that list. I think I finally figured out what the hell is wrong with me. Two extended combat deployments 13 years in the military a possible future deployment, moving to a different and more demanding job a couple of months ago, my wife is currently deployed and having some health issues (that may just be anxiety causing my back to hurt and muscles to twitch and spasm and feel tired and the appendage numbness and tingling) I think all finally came to a head. I guess the human mind can only withstand so much before it breaks loose and causes the body to react. Also googling my symptoms did not help my anxiety... For the love of Jesus WebMd is the most horrible thing ever invented. Until I found these forums a couple of days ago I was convinced I had ALS or MS.
