Hopefully I've been able to force myself to stop. It just makes me more and more nervous about what's going on.

Me, too. Fear can do more harm to you, physically as well as mentally, than any disease can do.
When I was waiting for my diagnosis I googled everything I could find and got just as many diagnosis'. It was maddening! I had eventually self-diagnosed myself with a brain tumor so you can imagine my relief when the doctor said "MS"! He was a little taken aback at my relieved reaction but understood once I explained to him what I
thought I had.
Laura gave you some good advice. Talk to your doctor and let him know your feelings. Make sure your doctor is a good fit for you....not all doctors are.
