Do you ever worry about some illness or disease you may get?

I almost died 2 years ago so it is always on my mind. But I also feel that the time since then has been a bonus, and if it gets taken away I was still fortunate because it could have ended 2 years ago. It also has made me care less about certain trivialities of life, like cultural norms, etc.

As for health, perhaps the best cure for worry is information. It is a shame medical care is not easier and cheaper to get. See a doctor, get tested, and know one way or the other.

Had I been seeing doctors at least once every year or two, they would have detected my diabetes earlier. Had I gone to a doctor about my neck infection early, perhaps they could have treated it without having to cut way so much skin and patch it with skin cut from my leg. It has messed me up for life. But I ain't dead yet so I press on. "Get busy living, or get busy dying."

I dont worry bc ive had brain tumor broken bones lime disease asthma etc. And worse a stroke and worse. I have best family in history. Ill be fine.

I never worried about it but knew it was definitely a possibility considering all the cancer-causing heavy metals that were found in my city’s water supply that I had been drinking for decades. A Brita filter is not effective in removing them and refrigerator filters aren’t either.

Yeah. I'm a hypochondriac, so I think about that kind of thing often. 😖

I am a little like that. And my daughter is like that very badly. OCD is awful

Just every time something unusual happens with my body and it doesn't seem to go away. 😅

I understand your fear. Nothing is going to happen to you 🫂

I work in health care and know just enough to be dangerous

I think we are well past that

I don’t worry

There is a reason why hypochondriacs live longer than other people
