Searching your symptoms doesn't always give the worst case scenario

I keep hearing similar things - that googling your symptoms is going to make it sound like you have something horrible and you don't.

This really isn't true. When I search my symptoms it's actually often the opposite. I've had doctors brush off my symptoms and when people say the above they are basically doing the same thing indirectly. In reality, when some of my symptoms hit they are a medical emergency.

@AffyAvo

Doctors are really annoying, they always tell me not to search anything, but they wont help me so why can't i help myself?

I hope you are doing well!! Here if you ever want to rant!
