Hypochondria For the past 6 months, I've been more sick than I've ever been. According to the University of Michigan ( here ) I don't have hypochondria. What I do have currently is best illustrated in the visual depiction on the right. Hypochondria is about imagined illnesses. There is nothing imagined in the 14 gallons of phlegm I've coughed up. We store it out back, in one of those plastic paint buckets. There is nothing imagined about the days of work lost (and money; my employer insists on NOT having sick or personal days until one has worked for them at least a year). It's time to take matters into my own hands. It's time not to be sick. It's time to feel good. It's time to not keep looking down at the tissue with revulsion (and then insist that the wife look at it). It's time to swab the dog with that anti-dander stuff. It's time to spray the entire apartment in bleach. It's time to think about wearing a TyvekÆ body suit with respirator.

Home Who We Are Our Mission Please Read ... e-Mail Us DEDICATION This website is dedicated to you, Mom. I have not always treated you with honor and respect, and for that I am sorry, and I apologize. It was important for me to realize why I got sick, and to understand your role in my illness, so that I could stop blaming myself, and get well. But I simply transferred most of the blame to you, when I had no right to. I did this because I was so afraid of turning against myself again. Now I know that we are both innocent. I have always loved you. Enlightening the Darkness The kingdom of God is within you. Jesus If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete. Buddha One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. C.G. Jung Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself. Kahlil Gibran The problem with atheism is that there is no one to thank. BreadCasters If you are suffering from emotional or mental disorders - including addictions, anxiety, hypochondria, panic attacks, social phobia, borderline personality disorder, codependency, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or even psychosis - I believe I can help. My story shows how these afflictions can be overcome. Like I did, you have probably searched desperately for relief. You may have tried to find a physical cause for your illness, or used your intellect to attempt to think your way to wellness. You may have found some relief by monitoring your physiology or modifying your lifestyle. Perhaps you rely on drugs to alter your brain chemistry and block out the pain. Or maybe you take solace in patriarchal religious fundamentalism that views human nature as "bad", fearful of questioning the role that such negative ideas have in your illness. These coping methods may enable you to face the world with a "survival personality", but you're not truly happy because your self-love is held captive by your false beliefs and unacknowledged grief.

BODY POSITIVE May 2001, Volume XIV, Number 5 HIV Hypochondria "Am I going crazy or am I really getting sick?" By J. Buzz von Ornsteiner, Ph.D. I tested HIV-positive one year ago. My problem is that I feel very tired and stressed out and I think every minute, "O.K. this is it, I now have AIDS!" I go to the doctor all the time and the appointments always end in the same way. This is how it goes: after a minor examination my doctor states that there is nothing wrong with me and suggests I consider psychotherapy or taking medication to control my stress level. Then I feel like I am going crazy and I leave not knowing if I am really sick or I just think I am. When I tell my friends or my parents I feel stressed, burned out and fed up, they think it's AIDS-related and encourage me to see my doctor. However, now my doctor has requested that I call him before coming in and to limit my medical visits to once a month, unless it is an emergency. Am I going crazy or am I becoming a hypochondriac? A Response to this Composite Case Study Wisely, your doctor has restricted your medical visits, suggested therapy and has indicated that he will prescribe medication for your anxiety. Please listen to what your medical doctor is telling you. Your exhaustion seems to be related to your own stress, not to your HIV status. Although this may be hard for you to consider please look at your own thoughts and how they may affect your health and daily outlook. How often do you think about your HIV status and how much do you think these thoughts effect how you feel?

Clinical Trials: Recruitment, Sometimes Easy Sometimes a Thankless Task. The Adventures of Six Clinicians Recruiting Patients for Trials By Lynne Christensen; Dr. Brian Fallon, Hypochondria Dr. Brian Fallon in the clinic where he conducted a placebo-controlled study of IV clomipramine for obsessive-compulsive patients. When a psychiatrist tested a drug for obsessive-compulsive behavior, patients flew in from all over the country while other eager participants were put on a waiting list. But the researcher has difficulty recruiting patients to test a drug for their hypochondria, a diagnosis they resist. Some clinical trials study approved drugs for a new indication. Dr. Brian Fallon, assistant professor of clinical psychiatry, is studying whether the antidepressant medication Prozac can be used to help hypo- chondriacs overcome their fears. One of several obstacles he faces in enrolling patients is that Pro-zac is an approved drug, and any doctor who hears that it may be helpful for hypochondria can simply prescribe it, without referring the patient to Dr. Fallon's study. Dr. Fallon also faces the challenge of convincing hypochondriacs who believe they have a medical problem to consult a psychiatrist and thus confront the psychosomatic nature of their condition.

Clinical Advances Prozac: On Trial For Hypochondria By Robin Eisner To Sarah, a pain in the neck meant she had lymphoma. An opera singer and mother of two grown children, 57-year-old Sarah (not her real name) has suffered from hypochondria for more than 30 years. Throughout her life she would get symptoms, such as head and intestinal aches, and worry she was going to die. "I have this morbid dread and fear," she says. Sarah relied on her daughter, now 37 years old, to guide her about which complaints to seek medical attention for and which to ignore. "My daughter really tunes in on me," she says. Unlike other hypochondriacs, who go to many doctors and undergo numerous tests but doubt their reliability, Sarah fears doctors and even newspaper articles on health. Her life, she says, has been one of suffering and terror. But Sarah decided to take a risk, and she enrolled in a clinical trial run by Dr. Brian Fallon'85, assistant professor of clinical psychiatry. The trial tests whether Prozac, or fluoxetine-a drug currently approved by the FDA for depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder-could help hypochondriacs. This five-year, $500,000, blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 100 patients is the first National Institute of Mental Health-sponsored controlled trial for the treatment of hypochondria. Started in July of 1993, the trial will determine whether Prozac can help hypochondriacs and if patients relapse after medication is withdrawn.
