Hi there, I've never really thought of it being anything like OCD.. I will mention it to my doctor when I get home and try and get set up with a counsellor. I know that the ad I am on now helped with the anxiety I had about going out, as I got to the point where I was really scared to leave the house in case I got sick. Either way, I hope I can get it sorted. I have had it suggested to me that it could be the weight of my breasts causing me the pains in my back, and I'll have to talk to my doctors about that. I have been thinking about a breast reduction since I was in high school, but this past year I watched a show on the surgery and looked HORRIBLE! The scars are quite bad and the list of complications was too much for me.. so I thought maybe I'd forget that idea.. But if it is causing me this pain now, I might have to reconsider. Hmm.. so much to figure out now. Guess I have a lot of research to do. Thanks very much for your reply, I can't say how much everyone's responses have made me feel so much more normal. *hugs* --Steph
