Wow, I hear your frustration and pain!
I think the answer you may be seeking really depends upon what psychosomatic disorders you are experiencing. It could mean anything from OCD to hypochondrias, or it could not.
Do you think you may have the flu? What are you experiencing? For how long? From my personal experience I can offer you this:
diarrhea>Lomotil or OTC Imodium
IBS>Bentyl
nausea>Tigan

Gould, M.D., affiliated with the Department of Psychiatry, U.C.L.A., in California, USA, and the author of the Mastering Stress and Depression program, has posted some pretty interesting things online http://www.medhelp.org/forums/mentalhealth/archive/1113.html?o=0, this is just one of the many message boards, it's pretty neat. You could also do a search if the link doesn't come out right.
YEARS of psychosomatic pain is what prompted me to start therapy and meds, I'm sorry you're going through this :(
I don't know what you're experiencing and I would highly suggest you talk to your doctor soon.
Take care and hang in there,
Kristen
