The doctors can't find what's wrong, is it all in my head?

This happens often..: When doctors listen to your complaints they run a list of possible diseases in their head and spend the visit trying to narrow down the list. If they are not sure then they will do some tests to confirm or rule out these diseases. Perhaps your doctor has ruled out diseases like infection, cancer or inflammation ... that is good news. He may now choose an empiric therapy to help you feel better.

Mind and body mix: This is a common dilemma encountered with vague or complex symptoms that are difficult to pinpoint or define. Often there may be complex problems that can baffle providers expecting to see the routine. However, remember that DISEASE is really DIS - EASE. A mind in turmoil/stress/pain will likely trigger and worsen real physical symptoms without a physical source, and vice versa. Dig deep for roots
