A member asked:

Hello, i have a swollen lymph node in my neck for a long time. the doctor told me it was nothing. when she showed up, i had a lot of mucus, but i'm already healthy. the node is mobile, but it does not hurt. i'm a hypochondriac, so i'm terribly scared?

Dear Hypochondriac.: How can we help to allay your fears? The scenario you presented doesn't sound particularly worrisome. It doesn't make much sense to see a doctor if you aren't prepared to accept the findings. Do you find yourself second guessing doctors a lot? If yes, consider cognitive behavioral therapy so you don't put yourself through this much suffering.
