Yeah, it makes ur mind concentrate on the areas you've heard about. Paranoia.

Is it possible that if you hear so much about a certain disease, you can think you have it, even feel the pains, when you know you don't? For example, before last Monday, I had never had any testicle pain. Then on Monday in school, we watched a video on testicular cancer, and since then, I've been feeling occasional pains in my testicles.

Thanks

Yes alot of people have this problem, the correct term for it is Psychosomatic but thats mainly for people who are alot more paranoid about it than you seem.

Hehehe, me too. :p: Although I don't truly believe it...

I've had the same headache for exactly 30 days now. I tell people I have bird flu. Whatever the big scare is, whatever the time, I've got it. :wink:
