Thirteen Illnesses or Conditions that Karen thinks she might have but hasn't been diagnosed for yet- Hypochondria- you will believe this one when you are done with my list.
- Sleep Apnea- my mother had this. This is where you stop breathing at different points in the night so that you have interrupted sleep. Which brings me to this next one...
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome- I am always sleepy, during the day, when I first wake up, at all times.
- Cushings Disease- I just read about this one in the Reader's Digest. It is when a gland produces too much cortisol and that makes you fat! There's more to it, but that is basically it.
- Future Cancer of some kind- that is just a constant fear.
- Ecsema- my son has this and I think I might have some form of this also. My upper arms have always been extra dry and I have dry skin in general.
- Adult ADD- not ADHD, because I am not hyper-active; I just can't concentrate on anything and I forget stuff and I forget what I am doing a lot.
- IBS- Irritabe Bowel Syndrome- self explanatory, I am sure you don't want me to elaborate on this one.
- Tooth Rot- I have this one tooth, in the very back that I have a cap on, and I think it is rotting underneath the cap and at the root; but we can't know for sure unless I want to take the cap off, and that will be a whole ordeal.
- Insomnia- I have trouble falling asleep sometimes and I have trouble staying asleep too, which may be connected to the Sleep Apnea.
- Arthritus- sometimes my joints ache, mostly the fingers, and sometimes the knees.
- Short-Term Memory Loss- This goes back to me forgetting what I am doing or what I need to do.
- Shopaholic or Chocoholic- couldn't decide on which one to put here. I love chocolate every day, and I would be shopping constantly if I had the money or the charge cards. This is why I cannot be trusted with my own credit cards. It's free money to me.

I'm pretty sure I've got all that and then some ;~)
Have a terrific Thursday!
It's like the first psychology class I took in college, I was convinced I needed to be committed. Every basic mental problem we discussed, I felt that I had it real bad.
Then I found out even doint THAT has a name, medical student syndrome.
Hope you get to feeling better.
Just here to say happy weekend to you:-)
Oh, man I think I have Cushing syndrome too. I have lots and lots of the symptoms. But I am afraid to go to the Doc and get it checked out. I wonder what THAT is called?!?!?
