Lots of symptoms and anxiety

I think I'm going mad. I feel as though I have a hundred and one symptoms and therefore a horrid disease. I can't sleep at night thinking of my symptoms which include itchy bottom/vagina, ulcers in mouth, receeding gums, pain in back of leg, pain under ribs, slightly white tongue, bloating, weight loss... I think I have all sorts... I'm going mad! Does anyone else ever feel like this?? I visit numerous websites and I can't stop...

Hi there.

The more you read on possible diseases the more you will get it in your head that you have them. So I suggest to stop reading up on those things. You may just have a flu of some sort. What you can do is go to your doctor and explain to him/her how you are feeling and see if you can run some tests to ease your mind.

Itchy vagina could be a yeast infection and for those you don't need to get a prescription, you could just get a kit at any local drug store. And as for weight loss, how old are you? Your body goes through MANY changes throughout your lifetime.

As for the slightly white tongue, if you don't have a sore throat or any of those things related to a cold or sinus infection, try getting a toothbrush with a tongue scraper, they work WONDERS. Bloating can happen before you expect your period. So don't worry, loosen up and enjoy life!
