Hey there, just thought I'd share some of my stuff and get some feedback as to what others think.

I'm a general worrier. Definitely hypochondriac. That being said, I was just diagnosed with high risk HPV and abnormal cells and all that jazz. I'm going through my doctors biopsies and whatever, but so far *knock on wood* she says all looks well.

THAT being said. I am about 99.9% convinced that I have cancer and I'm even having symptoms. I want to see if these are symptoms of anxiety or not

chronic fatigue- not the kind where I can't function, because I certain CAN function...but the type where I just never feel refreshed even after a good nights sleep.

can't fall asleep fast--takes hours sometimes because I sit there and concentrate on the pains and twitches and tremors I have in my body.

I have pains in my body (lower back pain) but I also have VERY big breasts...and am slightly overweight...

weak feeling in my left arm and leg (sometimes with a shooting pain)

sometimes a shooting pain through my lower region (buttocks) and I am convinced that hpv cervical cancer spread to the anal region and now I have anal cancer.

lymph nodes are swollen in neck/neck pain---convinced I have lymphoma because of spreading cancer

you get the idea. Will a doctor test me for all of this if I ask?

ok, hope you all don't think I'm crazy LOL-- I'm starting to. My mom laughs at me...but I am seriously consumed by being scared a lot---and the pain is real ya know? the symptoms are real--it just comes down to 'is there a cause for them' or are they psycho somatic (however you spell it)
 
Why don't you see a Dr. to put your mind at ease? He or she will run tests to rule out different diseases. It's better than worrying about all those symptoms you have. I hope you get good news from the Drs.
 
I don't think you are crazy. But I do think that anxiety is a disease. And it carries all the symptoms you may have. Its so dificult because we think of anxiety or panic as phycsomatic. But its part and parcel of this disease.
Having said that, it doesn't hurt to ask your doctor, although with this disease we don't actually believe them.Sometimes i THINK HAVING A DISEASE THAT CAN BE CONFIRMED WOULD BE A RELIEF COMPARED TO THE SYMPTOMS A PERSON WITH THE DISEASE OF HYPERCONDRIA OR NANXIETY LIVES WITH. jUST MY OPINION. sorry, didn't realize I was using capital letters. I wasn't shouting.
Take care,justumn
