Hi everyone,

My name is Lisa, 31 years old and new to this kind of thing. I've been feeling down since October. I wake up every morning with a new ache and pain... sore back, hips, arms and legs. Numbing and tingling fingers and toes. Fluttering eyelids. Today the left side of my face and neck hurt! I have seen countless doctors and done so many tests. MRI clean thank God. No inflammation anywhere. No joint problems. All bloodowork seems fine. I'm just still so paranoid that i have cancer or some other serious illness. I'm afraid I am going to die and leave my 2 children without a mother. I'm always sad and thinking negative thought. Anyone else feel this way?

Hi there just read your Post, it seems to me your over anxious. If your Dr. Has

Given you all clear then you will just have to accept that your health is fine.

There is another Anxiety site on Health Unlocked and people may be more used

To this kind of post there, so maybe have a look at that Site and see what you

Think, a lot of people there seem to be suffering from health anxiety, so you

Might get help there too.

Good luck and hope you feel better soon.

Hi nice to meet you. I was going to say exactly what Hannah has - it sounds like health related anxiety and it is common. There are a couple of anxiety sites on here - one is called 'living with anxiety' and I think the other just comes under anxiety. Go into the top where it says my communities and click on browse communities and you will find them x

Hi Lisa

You say you are afraid you may leave your two children without a mother and I am wondering why that particular fear, whether being without a mother has significance for you? Perhaps you know what it's like for children to be without a mother??

If so, then maybe you can write about those experiences here and we can help you to ease the anxiety.
