google health scares

i just did a google search for hitting the back of my head against the door frame while i was playing with my dog and now i don't know if i should never go to sleep again or rush to the emergency room or just relax like i would have in the old days, and i can't tell if i'm bonafide dizzy or just a combination of tired and drank too much strong coffee and google anxious. i wish i could quit you, google health searches. your pet health searches are awful too, you made me think my sweet little dog was going to lose a leg and die of heart worms.

Although I discourage everyone (including myself, but I realize I never listen and google anyway), I have to say that Google has helped me in calming down when my daughter had pinworms. I saw'em CRAWL AROUND HER ANUS one night. After wanting to label myself the worst mother on earth, I first googled for "WORMS KIDS ANUS" and immediately found pinworms and that you can get rid of'em easily if you take a pill or syrup. I slept like a baby afterwards. lol

i've heard of quite a few fake google babbies.

i think the answer on the internet to "am i pregnant" is almost always "you COULD be!"

Yeah tru esp because symptoms of early pregnancy can be about a thousand other things.

the internet made me think i had a seizure before. it was very scary because i thought i might never be able to drive or ride a bike again. then the doctor looked into my eyes and said i did not have one. i don't know how he knew.

I used to be really really bad about using the internet for convincing myself I had any number of illnesses. The most memorable of this is probably be the time I convinced myself I was HIV positive despite having no extreme risk factors but basically spent a summer thinking I was dying until I got the courage to go get tested and found out that, as I should already have known, I was -.

perhaps his years of medical training and experience gave him insights that the gloomy old scolds tapping out their alarming advice and anecdotes lack. xp

No results found for "please can i have my summer back".

the cheek of it.

Harbl, I think it has sth to do w the positioning of your eyes. I was convinced O had seizures when she was born cause her eyes "fluttered" upwards. My pediatrician assured me the way they rolled up, was okay.

Yes I am a hypochondriac.
