I started this blog a while back as a supposed way to document my 'trials'. I think even I couldn't believe that I was this messed up. The goal was to sort of track my mental state so that I could go back and remind myself that it was all in my head.
Somehow along the way it went from something for me to something I hope other people read. I don't know why or how. I think I just want to know that I'm not alone and to make other people feel the same way.
Of course, that all sounds very selfless and of course, its not. A lot of times when I sit down to write an entry, I have no idea what I'm going to do. That's usually because I've forgotten what I had planned to write between the time I decide to write it and the time the web site loads. Maybe if I stopped to think about it, I'd be worried that was a sign of Alzheimer's or something.
I've also noticed that I rarely have a point. This is how I operate. This also seems to be how I handle being a hypochondriac. Its just a blur of diagnosis that have nothing in common and no rhyme or reason.
So, if you are reading this, I appreciate it. I hope it helps you. I know it helps me.

so I keep leaving you these messages, because A. You are a great writer...and B. I know exactly how you feel. Except, my diseases tend to be a little different.
Anyway...keep writing Dave. I'll be checking in often. :)

Thanks for the post. Nice to know someone can comiserate (maybe that's spelled right, I don't know). I think at this point I've diagnosed, been on my death-bed from, and recovered from 85% of the known diseases and at least 25% of the unknown ones. Hang in there. If you "suffer" long enough you'll eventually run out of things to worry about. Of course, that's when you get bitten by a bug and get a whole new set...
