I know what you mean..I get bored with it also sometimes and I can stop for a few weeks or even months..Then I have some type of medical symptom (or what I think is one) come up and I am off again, sitting on the internet for hours trying to dx what disease I have...After I am done, I am convinced I have all the symptoms of a deadly disease (most times a type of cancer)...I can really get myself worked up, crying, etc...I think I realy need to get some help for it,or join some hypochondriac support group..Does anyone know of any good sites on the internet? Thanks

Nancy, I still suffer from the "disease of the day addiction" but to a much lesser degree. I actually get bored with it after awhile. I think I have finally come to a point where even though I have occasional setbacks I am thinking more positively about my life. Don't be too harsh on yourself about always looking up things...I have found some really interesting and enlightening info from many sites.

I can totally relate to this, as I spend hours looking up diseases on the internet, for myself and others...And any little symptom I think I have, I look up the worst disease it could be, and convince myself that I have it...I am filled with so much anxiety every day about what possible disease I could have out of so many...I am now obsessed with taking my temperature (as you are with your blood pressure), and take it 4 or 5 times a day or more to see if I may have a fever which would signify some hidden illness! But it goes from one disease to another..One day I am obsessed with my teeth (mouth cancer, etc), then another time it can move on to stomach problems, headaches, etc., and am always convinced I have a deadly disease....I find if I stay off the internet and stop searching for diseases, I am much better, but its almost like I am addicted to it...I can go a few days, but then I am back at full force...Any suggestions would be helpful..Thanks!

Thanks for responding Wanda. I too am an avid blood pressure taker. My partner finally decided to intervene and hide the monitor from me. It was a good idea because I only got more anxious if my blood pressure was too high or too low. Actually my blood pressure is fine and always has been except during my panic episodes. I pray and hope that someday I won't think every little pain is something hideous. I'm not a spring chicken any more so a few little aches and pains are to be expected.

I'm kinda in the same boat. I had the high blood pressure thing from all my anxiety and I finally stopped it for 3 weeks quit taking the meds and everything, then the feelings came back and I started checking my blood pressure again to find it high again. Now I'm back to were I was calling doctors reading about high blood pressure etc.. I had several test run and I'm in good shape I weigh 110 pds I quit coffee no wine etc... I just can't stop my heart from racing every time I go to check my bp. Its crazy I no I'm fine but, I work myself up and my bp comes out high, now its back to the meds... Its so hard to not have the thoughts of what if I get this or that disease when your full of this anxiety but, thinking and worrying about a disease will not keep you from getting it only cause you to have axiety and panic. Just stop thinking of it go to one doctor tell him you want a complete work up blood work will tell if you have any problems that need to be researched, when it comes out normal tell yourself if there was something wrong my white blood cells wouldn't be normal. hope this helps I'm with you on these feelings its awful....

I was doing really well lately not looking up every single disease in the world on the internet...well I am at it again today. Two family members recently became ill and of course then my communications with all of the family becomes all about symptoms and what the doc's are saying. I do want to know of their progress but I don't want to start identifying all of my pains as life threatening. What to do? And I was doing so well! Rose
