You have health anxiety and this is causing your symptoms. We can't answer medical questions on here so see your own doctor. I do have the feeling though that whatever anyone tells you, you still won't believe it.

You got some very good replies on your last post here. Have you read any of them coz you never came back in to acknowledge them. We don't know whether you have seen them or not, and we can only repeat what we said before.

Dear Shannon97,

Sorry but I'm going to 'Tell You Off', a little, I order to HELP you.....Whilst the Internet, Forums like ours, Self Help Pages and so on ARE Helpful, they are NOT Gospel! I've had this 'Conversation', many times, before.....

You 'Look Up' a Condition, you 'Find' it, 'everything' fits...Yes! Except that 'They' say that you 'should have a cough'- suddenly you DO....It MUST be right! Oh 'Hang On', I Should Have Stress Incontinence- and you DO! You are SURE that, you DO, have Hammer Toes, it's a Symptom after all...…and you are SURE you are 'Light Sensitive....Everything FITS!

Do you see what I'm Driving At Shannon? Yes, YOU do, have a 'Condition' one that can, and will, respond to the RIGHT Treatment. Treatment, given by a Doctor/ Consultant, who has examined YOU, checked YOU, carried out Blood Test on YOU, indeed performed, any number of Tests....on YOU and therefore knows what has 'happened' to YOU.

I have that wonderful Hugh Laurie series 'House', I think all of them. In one episode a Lady 'Presents' with a Terminal Condition, she KNOWS that she can't be 'Helped' but has some 'Other Symptoms' developing.....where did she Learn All This, why 'On Line' of course!- Everything, except those 'New' symptoms, Fitted Perfectly. It Turned Out that, the Lady, Didn't have a Terminal Condition at ALL....it was, in point of fact, quite easily CURED! Does this 'Sound', in any way, familiar?

I'm sorry that I, have been, rather 'Hard' here Shannon- and I'm sorry if my Words have 'Hurt' you. Indeed, reading this 'Post' back, it DOES seem rather Uncaring...It's NOT that at all. I'm just anxious that you DON'T take 'Dr Google', as your ONLY source of information.

I'll leave you, with a 'Little smile'. Imagine the scene......There is a Lady, clearly in some distress, in a Hospital bed. A nurse is bringing in a, seemingly endless, array of items....Support Stands, Monitors, Drips, Plastic and Glass Bowls, Sick Pots, Sheets, Blankets and Cutlery ."NO Nurse Bylandslop" says the Doctor "Mrs Johnson wants a 'BED PAN'!"

Warmest Wishes, no really.
