Introducing.. Confessions of a Hypochondriac

There is a fine line between being concerned with your health and being a hypochondriac.  I am not sure if I am a certified hypo but I do come from a long line of women who tend to be overly obsessive about what to most people are simple health problems.  As my husband always says.. "My wife doesn't get headaches, she gets brain tumors".   Maybe I just hear about so many people dying and getting cancer that I am secretly just waiting for it to hit me... or maybe I really am paranoid.  

My goal is to use this blog is a way to investigate illnesses and disease and share my findings with you.. I won't bore you with all of my imaginary ailments! I really just need an excuse to do some research because I love microbiology, health studies and mayoclinic.com!
