are you? ...just asking...

[rockart9]

before i wasn't but after being diagnosed with a congenital heart defect i think i have to be a bit...

[m1000]

i think it's just normal that you feel anxious... but maybe after for a while you'll be used to it ...
people with hypochondriac from what i've learned doesn't really have any serious disease, but they feel that they're always sick and they consult from different doctors even without showing signs of any disease.

but anyway, have a great day! =)

I am hypochondriac. Im not proud of it but i tend to look at it in a positive way. At least i am prepared, di ba? I go to my doctors a lot...and i mean, doctors! I have a derma, dentist, ortho, opthal, opto, surgeon, neuro, gastro, obgyne, oncologist, patho, sonologist,

I have lots of friends who are doctors. Most of them were my classmates in college. I am a nurse. My sister is a medtech. I have lots of medical books. Working in a hospital opened my eyes to the horrific reality of getting sick! I love medical shows like House, etc. So i get easily paranoid about catching virus and disease from anyone. I keep my prescriptions. I have all my doctors private numbers on speed dial.

I get myself tested thrice a year from everything. It helps that my sister is a medtech so i get all lab tests done for free! I tend to follow the doctors orders to the letter. For me, health is wealth!

i've read that some people who are in the medical field have a bigger chance of being hypochondriacs because of the knowledge that they have. Being a nurse i'm sure you've probably seen and have experience with dealing/treating with a lot more diseases than most people do... I have friends who are med students and they said its [hypochondriac] def. an occupational hazard...

sakit man ni sa mga KSP, nahan na sila nga akataron pirme and that's their way of attracting attention, Hypochondriasis is actually a form of neuroses..ug magka grabe na gane na nga feeling better seek help, see a therapist

[rockart9]

dili sad tingay KSP oi. I'm a hypo but i'm not KSP. OC/sigurista tingay pero dili kulang sa pansin. I think you're mistaking hypochondria for Munchausen syndrome. Hypochondriacs really do have symptoms unlike those who suffer from Munchausen syndrome.
