I hate living with this
This is horrible. This imaginary disease is killing every sane part of my brain. I check on my mouth almost 20 times at day. I have been two 2 different doctors this week and been told Im fine. I seem to see colors which aren't there and feel pains which aren't there. Both the dentist and my main physician agreed there is nothing wrong with me. My doctor just send me pills to help cope with the stomach discomfort and my dentist just some mouth wash to help disinfect what I think is infected but that is not. Im driving everyone insane. Im totally healthy but my mind keeps thinking I have some type of rear incurable cancer. Its totally horrible... I need urgent help. Today I ran out of my house looking for a doctor and then in the afternoon went to see my dentist for what I thought was part of a horrible disease. He told me two things your retainer is bugging you let me fix and please stop scratching your palate with your finger you're causing damage to it.
The point is I need Help....what could I do??

relax!! If you had any type of oral cancer a dentist would see it. You have hypochondria. Believe me, I know what it is like, but it took me a long time to admit I am a hypo. Doctors do know what they are doing and stress and anxiety can and will present physical symptoms. So you are most likely healthy but just very stressed out. I have my own demons and tried to find ways to deal or at least control them. You would not believe the list of horrible diseases i have had in the last few years. All imaginary of course, but still the anxiety was real. Certain meds and shrinks can help as well as talking in places like this. Again, RELAX! I'm sure you are healthy, just stressed. Let me know how you are doing.
