I couldn't agree more. Sometimes it does become tiring, doesn't it? But we have to be vigilant always. And nothing bugs me more than when I hear people say "my doctor thinks I'm a hypochondriatic" - geez, what in the world do those doctors think? Of course we worry BUT worry has nothing to do with symptoms and making sure things are checked out. We've all learned that even when we think everything is fine, it surely doesn't mean they are. So when symptoms persist we MUST be vigilant and have things checked out. That is NOT being a hypochonriac. That is being SMART.
