No, Nancy, the internet is wrong. Just because you have a sore ankle doesn't mean you're a diabetic. I am sorry to say, however, that you are a hypochondriac.

Get the hypochondriac mug.The persistent conviction that one is never or is likely to never become ill, often involving blatant disregard for emergent symptoms, and persisting despite reassurance and medical evidence to the contrary.
It wasn't his hyperchondria that killed him, but listening to his doctor instead of people on a message board might have been a good idea.

Get the hyperchondria mug.A person suffering from hypochondriasis, in which they over-react to normal bodily functions (ex: sweating or scabbing), confuse normal Common Cold symptoms for symptoms of more serious illnesses (ex: H1N1 or Whooping Cough), and generally act paranoid when a sneezing life form gets within 10 feet of them.
Person A: Oh no! I'm sneezing! I MUST have Swine Flu!
Person B: Simmer down, Hypochondriac, it's just the pollen in the air.
Person A: There's pollen in the air!? I'm gonna DIEEE!
Person B: *Facepalm*

Get the Hypochondriac mug.Someone who is really quite well, but with any sniffle or funny spot, they think they are dying of cancer/bird flu/aids. Or any other disease/s.
A good example is the guy in the movie Bandits. He listens to tapes of the definitions of illnesses to calm himself down.

"Omg, look at this freckle! Its kinda big, eh? Do you think its skin cancer?"
"Its dirt, dude. You're sucha hypochondriac!"

Get the Hypochondriac mug.A person who, upon watching an episode of House, is convinced they have the same disease as the main patient from that episode.
Sometimes if severe enough, said person will go to the doctor the next day expecting Gregory House to come into the office and tell them they are dying.

Get the hyperchondria mug.Hyperchondria is the stubborn belief that one is healthy even when there is medical evidence to support the presence of an illness or symptoms indicating one has such an illness.
Tim's hyperchondria was so blatant, he would not even acknowledge that his gangrenous wound was infected. He said he was perfectly healthy instead.
