Ok, so here's my story:

I'm a 19 year old, female. I have anxiety issues over my health, really bad ones as a matter of fact. I freak out over the slightest pain. Anyways..

My neck and head have really been hurting lately. I have problems with my neck and am going to a chiropractor to fix it. My neck was 40 degrees too far forward, so they have been trying to get it back into place. So, I had to do this thing called "traction" were you lay there and have your neck pulled back (sounds worse than it really is). Well, the x-ray shows that its almost back to normal, so I have been cutting down my chiropractor visits.

Well, to get to why I am posting this. I feel worse now than I did when I first started. My neck is stiff and I have a headache constantly. My eyes hurt, my arms are tingling, my hands are shaking, I'm always tired. I just feel blah! I don't know if this is all related to my neck (because it is somewhat back inot place), or if I have something else wrong..like a tumor or something. I'm scared to death and my parents won't listen to me because they know I freak out over my health and always think something is wrong with me. I've checked websites over my symptoms and they all point to like a brain aneruysm or tumor...something bad. I'm freaking out over here...can anyone help me!!? Please!

Hi
I know how you feel I am the same,you will see my post below,I know it sounds daft but it could all be related to stress,I had to go to a psycologist as it was getting out of hand,I am reading a book at the moment called stop worrying about you health,by George Zgourides it is really good,I thought I had a brain tumor also,I have had an MRI scan so I know that I have not got a tumor,People find it hard to understand people like us who have worries about uour health,a lot of the time it is mind over matter,I suggest you get some advice on relaxing,buy a tape and practice relaxation,Ok so we might have medical problems,however being negative all the time can make you really ill,I hope you will be ok,I am more than sure that you have not got a tumor,do you know that more than 80% of peoples ailments are brought on through stress,don't listen to what people say about pulling your self together as that is not good advice to anyone,I have learned to take a day at a time,take up a hobby and distract yourself from thinking you are ill.I had a hellish night last night my stomach was in spasms,I was a nervous wreck,I just got up and read for a while,let me know how you get on.
