hypochondriac

I've been accused of being a hypochondriac, by a few people , even a doctor. but am i really? doesn't everyone go to the doctor when they have a sniffle or a sore?? doesn't everyone think a tummy ache may be a tumor?



yesterday at the gym, a place we know is full of germs, i got a scratch on my baby finger. it's a bit red so i put a band-aid on it. but now i'm worried i'm going to get that flesh eating disease, necrosis just like that 20 year old brazillian model i read about. she developed septicemia from urinary tract infection which then developed into necrosis! apparently necrosis is the 10th main killer of people in the US of A, 800,000 people a year die from it!!!



cautious is what i am, not a hypochondriac! maybe i should stop reading newspaper articles and googling about horrible diseases, deaths etc! i caught the tail end of a health report on the news this morning about multiple sclerosis - i'm worried i may come down with that now.

but me, a hypochondriac, i don't think so.
