Somatization disorder is quite frequent if you like me suffer from schizotypal PD. Don’t know about schizophrenia.
I use dr.google not to confirm i have a disease, but on the contrary, to calm my self i haven’t got the symptoms of something deadly-
My somatization cause tinnitus, cold hands (raynauds), upset stomach, but i try to disregard my symptoms and go on.
Ok, thanks for the answer @bluebutterfly. Idk what i have anymore… One pdoc diagnosed me with personality disorder as well yeap. One other, saw that i have conversion disorder… I am maybe a bit bitter, cause i somatize since kid and i was never happy till now, never 
… Maybe i have a chance now but i only knew the s***… Anyway, i know we all struggle… I try to ignore my symptoms tbh, but my body still reacts…

Sad to hear, but if it can be any help, then mostly somatization symptoms like yours and mine, are REAL symptoms and if you are diagnosed with somatization then you are not a hypochondriac
Hope you find some relieve, some patiens with somatization disorder benefits from mindfulness, it helped me a bit, but it’s no cure.

Oh yeap, i was diagnosed with somatization… One doc even said, that its common for other mi, not so much of sz 
…
But @bluebutterfly, do you think i can get better on this with the time? I still feel mentally ill in my mind tbh, but once i am better on this side, maybe my somatics will improve?
Also @bluebutterfly, do you think, that the aps help your somatics? Me, i dont find them much help on this… Only the klonopin helps a bit tbh, but i am prudent with this med…
Hi @Anna1 If your MI decrease then your somatization should be less painful. I have been told, and read, that somatization is anxiety expressed in your body. Also traumas, abuse or anything like that, that suddenly gives the physical symptoms like in conversion disorder.
In my country, klonopin is not considered first line treatment for anxiety. SSRI or SNRI like Cymbalta or Effexor is considered the best treatment for somatization / anxiety.
I have a lot of MI issues right now, due to life circumstances, but somatization is not that big a thing, so it’s possible to at least get rid of that.
AP’s might help, but only a doctor or skilled therapist might know that by hearing your story.
Hope you and your body heal well.
