Hey Dusty isn't it interesting (or boring really, but momentarily interesting) that there are more who come here screaming for us to tell them they are dying, than true PALS?

"Incidence and Prevalence: Hypochondriasis can occur at any age but peaks in adolescence and during middle age (Maleki). Men and women appear to be affected equally (Phillips 603). The disorder's prevalence in the US is estimated to be between 3% and 5%"
Tillie, it is because they outnumber us about 3000:1.
