What horrible disease has your health anxiety convinced you you have this week?

Trigger warning for those of you who, like me, should avoid weird sounding diseases because you’ll convince yourself you have it!

What ailment were you convinced you had today or this week or any time recently?

For me, whooping cough. I’m in the middle of an anxiety attack and writing this so I’ll stop compulsively googling the whooping cough cases in my county. Basically I read about it being on the rise yesterday, was feeling completely fine today, until I got out of the shower and I sneezed 3 times and had to blow my nose. Now I’m terrified that I have whooping cough (which starts with a runny nose) and I’m going to give it to my babies. Freaking out!

However a couple weeks ago it was meningitis, and before that breast cancer, and I was even convinced I was having a pulmonary embolism in August and had to go to the er. It was GERD! Fun times!!
