Ever convinced yourself you had a serious illness?

[#1]

This was inspired by all the people waking up with a couple of "symptoms" and thinking they have swine flu....

I once thought i had TB.. hd a bit of a cough, and actually went to the hospital a&e.. The doctor in the a&e asked me what was wrong and i said "i have tb" he just looked at me like this ":|" then he told me that he could tell by looking at me that i did not have TB. Turns out he was right.. lol...

Another time i thought i was looking a bit yellow, this was going on for a while, looked in my eyes a few days later and seen they were yellow so went to doctors, doctor asked me what the problem was, and i said "im jaundice" he looked at me like this ":|" and said, "no youre not"...

what about yous?

I think I've just about convinced myself that I have had every serious illness going.

google is terrible, if you google a boil, you will convince yourself you have an mrsa (super bug) boil thats gonna eat your body away. Nearly everything on google is worst case scenario stuff.

Maybe so. Usually ignore symptoms till its to late. End up pretty sick

[#11]

Yeah, thought I had a cancerous lump too. Best not to take chances so I'm not really bothered by it.

[#12]

Once thought I had chicken pox, but to all releif i only had small pox

[#13]

Yeah I have, cant think of anything specific. But my sister is bad for it and it seems I got it from her... if she bangs her arm on a door she's getting a blood clot and has hours to live.

I'll never forget the time when I was about 11, and had a strange rash on my stomach. I aksed my mum what it was and she joked that it was meningitis :|

She was even laughing about it, whilst I was there in tears. When she saw my reaction to what she said, she tried to reassure me that she was only being silly and that I was fine, but I spent the whole day panicking. I may have only been 11 but I knew full well what meningitis was.

Cheers Mum.

I was once turned into a newt!!

I got better.

[#16]

Ive never convinced myself.... my asthma does a good enough job on its own.

[#17]

i thought i was having mini heart attacks and was going to die.

i made a topic about it lol :| and then it turned out i had tonsillitis... which i dont see how that works out. but i took the doctors word for it and im now better :D

I agree with you techwondo. When you have asthma you don't need to convince yourself at all.

I thought I had scabies after an outbreak in school when I was in yr 7.

All I knew was it was a rash, but mine was on my stomach, turned out I had shingles.

Scarred for life now :(

I had a strange rash on my stomach a few months ago, it was all green and scaly and weird.... I went to the doctors and even they didn't know what it was, but now it's magically dissapeared. No idea what it was. :)

Fortunately I convince myself a lot I've got serious illnesses when really it's nothing, and it's such a relief when I find out. I hate it when the opposite happens - when I was about 7 I went to the doctors to be told nothing was wrong with me, then a few days later found out I had pneumonia... I hated that doctor. :(
