A member asked:

I believe i'm a severe hypochondriac and it's really taking over my life..what do you suggest?

Hypochondriasis : This is an extensive topic. There is no way i could fit an answer into the space this small so I am giving you the website to an excellent mayo clinic review of this. I think that you can get your life under much better control if you will follow their very wise advice. Best wishes. www.mayoclinic.com/health/hypochondria/ds00841/dsection=...
