Hypochondriac

This is me.

I'm afraid to see the doctor

I'm afraid of what he'll say

I woke up with the sniffles

And a slight headache today

I think it's a tumor 

But I also have strep throat

Could it be, I'm getting sicker?

Is it cancer, AIDS, or both!?

There's a tingle in my fingers

I think It might be diabetes

But I'm also two days late

Am I carrying a dead fetus!?

I think I might go blind

I have not taken my B12

Things have seemed a little blurry

It's neurological, I can tell!

I googled all my symptoms

I clicked on Web MD

It brought me to this list

Of everything that it can be

So much I've not considered

Now I'm really getting worried

Please don't be ALS!

Before I'm 30 I'll be buried!

Are my words a little slurred?

I had a stroke last night

There was a twitch in my left arm

And my heart did not feel right

I'm really worried 'bout this cough

I've had it for a day

It could be chronic bronchitis 

If it does not go away

Is it normal feeling dizzy?

I've been somewhat fatigued

I've narrowed all my symptoms

To these possibilities:

Hypoglycemia

GERD, ADHD

Asthma, Sleep Apnea

and Parkinson's Disease

I'm afraid to see a doctor

Though I know just what he'll say

He'll tell me nothings wrong

I won't believe him anyway

Well, this poem surely made my day!
A lovely subject and a great rhythm.

Although it's well known that every great writer had at least some kind of odd sickness. (I kid, I kid!)

Great job, love the poem.

You made me laugh with your words. I have never been sick in my life. Maybe a minor cold. I don't like Doctors. I will fall dead one day because I won't pay attention to the pain. I like this poem. I have known many people afraid of illness. In this new world. Could be necessary for concern. A excellent poem.

This is pretty amusing stuff. I think many people can relate to this state of mind - especially in this broad age of accessible technological knowledge.. I mean, you can look up the symptoms for a disease or illness and then begin to assume those symptoms just by reading about them... Hypochondria....!!!

I used to have a joke badge which read:-

"Hypochondria is the only disease I DON'T suffer from."

Says it all, really...

wow! this is really good. well done
