21 year old male

It all started early summer months when I had a breast lump scare that ended up being nothing. From that day forward I had the following;

1. Testicular Cancer Scare

2. Lymphoma

3. Leukemia

4. Brain Tumour

5. ALS

6.MS

Right at this moment im worried I have MS and I do have severe health anxiety ever since this summer. I have always been a worrier but the health anxiety recently has taken over my life. I have had various neurological symptoms such as twitching, crawling sensations, etc. They have pretty much went away and subsided. 2 Months ago I suffered from a headache that lasted a month that kept swtiching sides. I had a CT scan and they found nothing and I could not sleep. Once I was assured that the headaches were nothing I was able to get my sleep back on track and my headaches have not returned since. When my headaches started to go away I developed a feeling of water running down my face or cold patches on one side of the face that could happen anywhere on that side of my face and didnt follow in a line or anything like that. This can also happen on the other side just less common. Doctor didnt say much and it subsided for about a week where I was barely noticing it. Now yesterday it has come back and I dont know if it is anxiety related or MS. it comes and goes within minutes and I feel like I can make the water drop feeling come when I rub the top of my jaw close to my ear. I have no idea what is going on...any thoughts?

    Please take this in the spirit in which it is intended. Turn your computer off! You need to find yourself some counseling. Every twitch or bump is not a disease. But if you look around on the internet you will find a way to make them one. Your anxiety is coming from someplace and you need to find someone who can help you deal with it.

    I'm in the same boat. I use to be a care free guys, always going out partying not giving a s**t about anything.. then my job went to s**t and I got super stressed and I'm now a health anxiety freak at 19 years old.. (I know the job part sounds silly but I was surprisingly making good money and paying my family to live basically) but anyways I've been in and out of the ER... doctor appointments.. .etc.. I know the routine, and it sucks. I thought I had a brain tumor as well since I was in a big car crash when I was 10, so I got a CT scan and it was clear. Then I thought I had heart problems, went to ER, was cleared. THEN i thought I had DTV, went to ER, came back clear.. now I think I Have low blood sugar since I was diagnosed 2 years ago as pre-diabetic and it freaks me out cause anxiety is a result of low blood sugar... but reading other stories and listening to meditations videos help. Not trying to scare you but telling you my story, so you know you're not alone. Anxiety can make you have ANY symptom, and the more you believe it, the more surreal the symptoms are. If I took my own advice I wouldn't have anxiety probably, but it's easier said than done. You 99.99% chance do NOT have MS. My best advice is not to look up symptoms, but to read others stories and start meditating and talking about it with others who experience it. We're all in the same boat.
