[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 650678, member: 1550"] Hon, get off the cancer site. If you are at all like I was at your age, I could not read about any disease without thinking I have it and looking for symptoms. I was a really bad hypochondriac (it often rides along merrily when one has anxiety disorder). I am not one anymore, but I just don't go out of my way to hear about things that scare me. Please explain to your friend that, although it probably sounds silly, being in her cancer group is making you too afraid YOU have cancer so you will have to drop out and don't worry if she doesn't get it. If you have anxiety disorder, I get it and anyone with anxiety disorder would get it and, if she is a real friend, she will try to understand and not be upset. I don't pay much attention to my bowels, other than to have colonoscopies when I'm supposed to (fun, fun, fun), but I have been constipated a lot of times. On Weight Watchers I didn't eat as much so I didn't go as much, if ya know what I mean. I always had oatmeal in the morning for fiber and lots and lots of fruit and veggies. I still indulge in all three of them a lot. Exercise is helpful as well. And don't stress over it because I have found that stressing over anything seems to make whatever we are stressing over even worse. IF you are anything like me, you can obsess over things until you are in panic mode and unable to think of much else ;). I'm sure you are fine. Go to the doctor to ease your mind. [/QUOTE]
