How will u feel??

I have had that costochondritis before so I understand your misery. It is really painful. I currently do have an incurable disease although it is not life threatening. I have Meniere's Disease which in short causes sever vertigo, hearing loss, and memory loss. I have had it for almost 4 years and am just learning how to actualy live with it. For most of the past years I have been letting it beat me but I got tired of existing in life and not living it so I am learning ways to deal with it and still be able to actually live. I do try to spend more quality time with my family and friends and I make sure they all know how much I love them every day. I am also doing things that I always thought I would do later. Now if there is something I want to do then I do it. No more letting stupid things get in my way. I know what I have is not terminal but it does really change my life and the way I live it.

i would feel dreadful and like you will have sleepless nights because i have also gone trough the same inflammation i then decided that my last days are coming so i decide to spend ample time with my loved ones and friends but nothing serious happened

It will be very disappointing for me . I will enjoy the days left with me. Try to happy.

I would be happy in a strange way. I'd see it as a reason to make the rest of my life awesome! an excuse to not care about the stupid things in life which bring us down. and also realize that i wouldn't have anymore bills to worry about!!! woohoo

i would be really upset and just live life normally if i knew that it would be an incurable disease. i would try to take my mind off it as much as i possibly could. i would have sleepless nights too but the best thing to do is just don't think about it because it only makes things worse like stress etc.

Hey i have been through a similar situation...earlier in my childhood..when i was of 9 yrs of age i was having very high fever for bout 15 days.my worried parents took me from docter to doctor unable to find a diagnosis.i was particularly worried as i had just read about AIDS and how it results in chronic fever!!on top of it i had kissed a girl..my girlfriend about a month before so i was convinced that im suffering from AIDS...gosh i was sooooo worried only to be later diagnosed with some viral fever to my relief!

wow, I pray for you, that would be sad If I was diagnosed, but life must go on

initially, Ishall feel terribly depressed about my incurable diseases how ever, slowly i will perhaps take over and then will be normal and joyous thinking that few days left of my life i should enjoy to the maximum.human mind has lot of powers and can takeover any type of shock or miseries in due cource of time.

i must suggest one thing.whenever you are worried about something its better to clarify it then and there only if possible.if you think you have a defect and that is causing you problem go to the doctor clarify it.even if you have got a deadly disease(i pray nobody have one)but if its detected at the earliest chances are there it would get cured or even live longer.so i must suggest that whenever there is something causing tension do your best to remove it then only if possible.life is short and let it be tension free.all the best

fear kills more the actual thing itself feared,there was once i thought i had HIV,i lived with that fear and torment for a long time.But one day by faith i got to the hospital to get the test and found out i was negative.the greatest weapon of the devil is fear and the greatest weapon of a child of God is faith.choose faith.

Well I have an incurable disease called osteoarthritis along with spinal stenosis, which means the spinal canal is pressing on the spinal cord. The time may come where I am unable to walk. The time may come when I am unable to control bodily functions. These are facts of my future. This knowledge has actually been quite liberating. I know prioritize what I will tolerate from others and what I will not. I am aware of how I spend my time, I insist on being treated with a respect that most people have learned to do without. I enjoy those people who treat me as I wish to be treated and all others need to find someone else's time to waste. This includes family members as well. I have found that life is too predious to accept those who are not worth cherishing.

Costochodritis is quite common with people who have Fibromyalgia Syndrome ... I know it's very painful and makes it hard to breathe ... as each time you move your ribs you are pinching the inflammation ... I've been rushed off to hospital by well meaning friends who thought I was having a heart attack ... I told then it was an inflammation .. but to be fair they said they had to be sure My doctor told me if I get similar pain I should take two paracetamol .. if the pain is not getting any better by 10 minutes to call for an ambulance in case it IS a heart attack .. NB as with all medical advice please check with your own doctor before following my advice ... what is good for me may not necessarily be any good for you ...

i vl b sad during these time. but beleive in god that he wont leave us that shuld be there always.

thank to god that i don't have any, and will pray that no one in the world will ever hear this statement

i will did not feel anything , or if i fell that is only pain also has to ace his own problems so no matter about feeling what did you think on this matter

Thank God that it was not as bad as you thought that it was.we sometimes build up thoughts in our heads,and went take those thoughts and run with them.I know because I am one of those people,I always expect the worse,I am told that I am a worry whort. the least little sign of anything,I get scared.sometimes it is with good reason,and sometimes it is because I always automatically think that there is something wrong.I am happy for you.

I think that wil bring in a change in the way i look at life, I will start enjoyin each and every moment of life. Infact i have thought of these kinds of situations. like what will I do if I get something like aids, i mean how do those people enjoy their life like we do even after they know that their end is very near and predictable

i guess if i were diagnosed with an incurable disease (thank God that i don't have one), i would be definitely in a state of denial and depression. well, i guess that would be normal. but in time, i may have a different view with things. i think i would give more importance and value to things that i have taken for granted before. i would try to make everyone i love, including myself, happy. i would try to look at the brighter side of life.

hey i am sorry for this but there are lot of things in life that cant be stopped while for me i have got to do many things

My boyfriend is going through something close to this. He has no idea what is wrong with him and we've had several tests, etc. No one can give him a real diagnosis, and no one seems to be able to help him. His chest is in pain and his heart pounds and it's scary as hell. He can't even work right now. It wouldn't be so bad if the doctors were able to tell him what was wrong for sure, so it's very scary.
