when you like have symptoms relating to sickness that you think you have, do you really have it? like 2 out of 5... 3 out of 10 (not more than half the symptoms.. or is it just coincidence?

Not necessarily. I have all the symptoms of cancer of the voice box, but once seen by a doctor, found it was only a nasty sinus infection. 2 weeks of anti-biotics sure beats months of chemo, right? I also at one point had all of the symptoms of BiPolar Disorder. Turns out I was just going through grief from the loss of my sister who died 2 weeks earlier. Symptoms are just that. Symptoms. They only tell us that there's something wrong, they can't diagnose. If they could, they'd be called illnesses. If you're worried about something you may or may not have, only a physician can put your mind at ease. If insurance or money is what's keeping you from your peace of mind, look up local clinics who can service your fears on a sliding scale. Good Luck.

That's a hard question because you might have it if you have some of the symptoms. You don't need to have all of them. The only sure way to find out is to go get checked out by a doctor to make certain. I hope you take good care of yourself. Go see a doctor.

Probably. The whole point of symptoms is to help identify an illness, and then go on to diagnose which of a range of illnesses you might have.
