But i just can't go to sleep now! I'm scared to death! Almost 2 weeks ago i had a runny nose and tearing eyes so i went to the doctor and he wanted to do an allergy test. I was scared of the idea of somene cutting me so i refused and wanted to try medication first. At first it worked pretty good but then i got a lump in throat, which i first thought was because i was panicky about getting Asthma from the Allergy (it actually started WHEN i first became really panicky about it, so i thought it was related). At first i even thought it WAS Asthma progressing. It always seemed as it was going higher up and then the "thing" in my throat dissapeard and came up again. Something when i was thinking of something else it was practically gone. The "joke" is that the allergy thing is barly noticable since i got the lump and i don't take the medication anymore. It just came into my mind today that maybe it doesn't come from the Allergy but from cancer. I thought i had cancer before when i was reasearching something on Osteosarcoma. I did have a lump in throat from the panic back then so i was thinking it was painc once again...but as far as i remember that was different, it felt different. I also posted it on a cancer board back then and people told me to relax as it probably wasn't cancer. I eventually did and the throat thing went away and the pain in my leg too. I'm only 16 and already thought that i had cancer twice (once at 15 and once at 11). When i was 11 i wasn't even scared...i just thought i had a tumor when i first realized that i had "female organs"..and i wasn't even scared i though "Oh well...i got a few more weeks or years, right?" I was one crazy kid...got the kind of hypocondriac thing from my grandma...but it got a lot better since i got over the Osteosarcome thing, i never thought that i had anything until now. But clearly, i don't trust my own judgement and there is no reason to Sydney00 Sun, 03 Jun 2007 00:00:00 GMT
