I'm right there with you and Hawkeye... You both make me feel "normal"! Whatever that is... 
When I was in therapy, the clinical psychologist kept trying to tie my anxiety to some of the traumatic events I had been through, but, honestly, the worst was being sick... And, I know it goes all the way back to my childhood (long time ago for me  ... BUT, I honestly get worse when the symptoms come and I fear the symptoms. I try to do "self-talk", but it doesn't always help. Example: baby sat my granddaughters Sunday - one was recovering from a stomach virus - so, basically loved her from afar ... The other one was all over me kissing, "slurping... etc." (3-year-old) and was "allegedly" the non-sick one... Later that night, she started throwing up and still recovering. So, what has occupied my thoughts during this already stressful last week before school break, with a thousand things to do??? Am I going to get it too? What will happen if I do??? I also have a dread/fear of throwing up....
So, I'm sorry you both deal with this, but it does help to know it's not just me...
As far as moving somewhere warmer - it doesn't help, Steffiejoy... I live in North Florida on the Gulf Coast, it was 78 today and everyone around here is sick... it's actually called "allergy alley"! We have such drastic temperature fluctuations - 30s in the early AM and 78 by afternoon! If I ever find "Utopia", I'll send a postcard!
