Odd Hypochondriac Stories
 

I'd like to take a moment to give some kudos to the hypochondriacs out there. In this thread, I give y'all permission to diagnose yourself! All in humor of course, go to your doctor if you actually have something.

As for myself...to quote Wikipedia...

I think that says it all.

ER and House get me worrying about my health.
And when I got really, really sick recently, I had the joy of an over-active imagination diagnosing myself with all kinds of fun things! Beyond all logic, I entertained the idea of Mono, some new strain of the flu, various infections that simply had to be showing themselves through aches and pains I experienced. The best part was of course my nose, which wouldn't stop running. I couldn't think of anything that could be causing that, that was a real illness.

yeah after the build season when i was an insomniac (i couldnt go to sleep cuz i wanted to build stuff and i was excited for the regional!) i would joke around with my friends that i got mono from stealing sips of other people's mountain dew (which, for the record, i didnt do because i am a bit on the germophobe side....)

I did get mono during build :( [and i wasnt kissin anyone!] I like to say I have ADHD. lol. I am way to energetic!!! AHH

Re: Odd Hypochondriac Stories
 

I thought I had mono forever because i was insomniac-ish and always dead tired...and i share stuff with people all the time, my drinks usually end up as the communal drinking fountain. and then i swear i am somewhat dyslexic becuase sometimes i read things backwards. of course, i could just be a really tired geek :D. but it's really freaky when you read things wrong and then you realize it, like this one time i read a stop sign as pots....and then i was like 'whoa mom it says pots!' and she was like 'uuuhhhhhhhhh....i think u need to get more sleep'

I work for a company where I deal with homeowners all the time and this woman called me a few months back wooried that she could be seriously ill. Of course I run to get my boss on the phone with me only to find out that she thought that she had contracted rabies from a tomato that was on her balcony that a squirel bit and she touched.

We later found out she was a hypochondriac.
