[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 267871, member: 1550"] in my opinion, due to my own hypochondrias, your son isn't worried about how much it hurts. He is thinking that it is something that will kill him. In our minds, a sore throat is throat cancer slowly eating us up inside and a headache is a brain tumor. A hypochondriac never goes for the small stuff. I can not tell you how irritated my mother used to get when I constantly thought I had some lethal disease, but it was very real to me. I could handle terrible pain as long as I was assured that it wasn't terminal. The problem was that it wasn't about the pain--it was about the fear that it meant death. [/QUOTE]
