Hypochondriac?

For as long as I can remember, I've never been healthy.  Sure, I'm obese and there are a lot of medical complications that come with that, but I never feel well.  Every blood and poop sample have come back normal...but I don't feel it. 

I've had digestive issues for as long as I can remember.  For a while I thought that it was some sort of "curse" that a man placed on me when I was in middle school.  The man, known for his ministry of healing, spoke healing to my stomach area.  Up until that time, I really had no issues.  Since then, I've had cramps, incredible diarrhea, and some days non-stop trips to the bathroom.  Is this normal?  It got increasingly worse after a trip to Honduras.  I was convinced that I "caught" something while I was there.  All medical tests came back normal. 

Ever since high school, I've had a tremor.  I got it checked out in college and they told me that it was a benign familial essential tremor.  Fancy words at that time in my life...  Years later it has progressed and gotten a little worse.  As of 2 weeks ago I now have a thumb twitch that I never had before.  Sometimes there's an eye twitch and a leg twitch to throw in there too. 

About three weeks ago I started feeling this burning sensation in my lower left leg.  What the heck is that?  It feels like there is a heater directly on it, but yet there is no redness or even heat to the touch.  Am I losing my mind?  Am I dieing? 

I think with all of the cancer in my life, I get nervous when things "go wrong".  What exactly is wrong with me?  Do these symptons mean anything? 

I get sick of hearing myself say that I don't feel well...  I'm sure people around me are sick of hearing it too!  I used to say it to get attention from others...now I say it out of habit...and it's quite annoying!

Someday...maybe I will find some answers.  Until that point, I'm going to keep wondering, but stop freaking out!  It's time to just let this rest in my Father's hands...something else I'm not great at.  I always want someone else to pray on my behalf...what happened to me praying for myself? 

Anyway...better head out on that note.
