The Biggest Folder Ever

Postby Constantine » Mon Nov 21, 2005 12:55 pm

I was a real Hypochondriac.

I had a major illness in every stage of my life, now that I am more than 36 years old, sometimes I really laugh about it and sometimes I want to cry that I was so miserable for nothing.

When I wans 13 I thought I had major kidney problem.
When I was 15, I thought I had Tuberculosis.
When I was 17, I thought I had Diabetes.
when I was 18 I thought I had Cancer.
20 Brain Tumor
22 major stomach and intenstine problem
25 Kidney problem again
26 Rheumatism


This is not the complete list, this is the simplified version.
basically I can have any illness if you just name it for me.
I was going home and think about any symptom, if I found a slightest one, that is it, and Bingo I am sick and about to die.

I don't joke. I was a really Hypochondriac.
I am really sorry for myself right now.
I spend a lot of money. I did most doctor visiting secretely.
I did not want my family to know, that I was checking for cancer. for instance.

Now I am Ok, and do not think about illness, I am healthy.

But anybody read this, take this from me.

Do not try to diagnose yourself, you are not a doctor.
Trust your doctor, if he says you are not sick.
If you are young, age between 10 to 30, there is less than 0.1% that you have major illness. (This is my life experience not relying on any statistics). You may get flu or fever, or 3 minute headache, or every now and then constipation, but these are normal.

Have Fun !
