Jeepers:
HA is a curse isn't it?  Our imaginations and fears hold us hostage, and won't give us any peace...

So, looking back over this year, I have made a list of things that haven't killed me this year!! ;D

DCI (the bends)
DVT
Embolism
Heart Attack
Stroke
Skin Cancer
Stomach Cancer
Pancreatic Cancer
Breast Cancer
DCI again!
HIV (!)
Bowel Cancer

Anyone got a longer list??

Hello Jeepers.

Well this thread should run and run lol!

As I've said many times ( I know, sorry ladies )  I don't seem to have text book health anxiety but I worry myself silly over my emotional issues and moods and that only started with the menopause. I think part of it is that I've had very few physical symptoms but if I do have a strange twinge or sensation I worry about it briefly but as soon as it's gone I'm fine again.

 Sometime ago I had quite a lot of bleeding and was told I needed a hysteroscopy. My husband quipped that maybe I had cancer ( he was trying to make a joke to reassure me actually ) but I told him that a comment like that to some women would cause a huge amount of worry and be in very poor taste. The thing is I was totally relaxed about the whole thing even though it would have been more natural to be concerned.

My main health worry is my anxiety and that has pretty much taken over my life so for me there is only  one item on my HA list but it's a giant one!

It will be interesting to see what other ladies mention and great idea for a thread.

Take care everyone.

Great thread.

Well not a lot really.  Except when I have a cold that turns into a cough.  Currently into week 6 of the 3rd cough of 2018: May, again in August and more recently.  Although the cough is non productive, each time I have a hacking session I mutter 'TB'  :-\.

I had a vomiting phobia for years from age 3  :'(  :'( ...... never worried about counter top hygiene but if anyone coughed or looked pale and I would run for the hills.

When my breasts are sore I do wonder if there is a recurrence.  I can't remember whether I had a mammogram this year/not.  Maybe the cramping in the vagina and pelvic area should be investigated, I haven't had a smear since I can't remember when.

I don't dwell but these issues cross my mind.  At least once a week  >:(
