Does the US Make Me Sick??

Back in Australia I had been to the DR many times. I’d had a couple of blood tests, a tonsilectomy and a wisdom teeth extraction. Not too sick at all .. the odd cold .. but that was it. Since being in the US I have had
1. 5 Blood Tests (step throat, suspected mono, any other aliment I could goodle and self-diagnose)
2. Sonogram (suspected breast cancer)
3. Mamogram (again for breast cancer)
4. X-Ray
5. CT Scan
6. Pap Smear
7. Coloscopy
8. Audiology test
9. Seen a GP, Eyes, Ears & Nose DR, audiologist, Foot DR, Foot brace doctor, gynocologist.
Is it that I am just getting old .. or is the US making me sick? Im always coming down with a cold, swollen lymph nodes, freaking out that some disease is killing me …. am I healthier in Australia? Is it the air .. the less people .. that I have people to look after me through nutrition, love and support. I have plenty of love and support here but I guess its not the same as your Nans home cooking, or your mums concern or just feeling like you are not alone … if you are sick there are always people to count on. I dont doubt my friends are there when I get sick here but theres nothing like your family to make you feel better even when you really dont. I had a biopsy today .. and Im also sick with blocked sinuses, cough and core throat .. again freaking out by self diagnosing and feeling alone in my apartment. Maybe the US is making me sick.
