| Re: Is this really OCD?
You are obsessing about your health so OCD is a quick diagnosis, but since it's only your health this could also be hypochondria. Ordinary folk like us do not have the medical education to understand what test results are acceptable -- we see something that is "off" and automatically assume that the doctor isn't doing his job properly. I have this and my sister has this, and we both have OCD's about other things as well. If the meds are causing you grief and this is the only thing you are obsessing about then perhaps you can go off them like I have. You have to understand however that the test results that you believe may indicate a health problem don't, unless the doctor says so. This is the main reason why doctors do not like us looking at our charts!!!
