*When You Don't Feel Well.. Google Can Be Your Worst Enemy*

Plague! I have the plague.

I have aids. Or so Google told me once. 🙂

Ah, the WebMD Effect.

good nigth

Oh yes , google can convince you (if your looking for symtoms and paranoid and feeling ill.)that you are dying with something,or even dry eye.

So. True.

And somehow the symptoms almost always lead to, "you're pregnant."

Ha! Yep. 😛

no doubt lol

I keep searching until I find something less dramatic but most of mine are “you should see your Doctor immediately”.

Truth!!!!

Truth

I did this search for exotic protozoa one day and happenstance happened to stumble on the signs of infection.  Sadly within hours, these symptoms started to manifest.  Of course it would seem absurd that a organism like this should appear in my part of the world, not sure if this were one of those self suggestive moments?!

Lmao! So true.

I once searched for "I feel fine" on web MD and it said I was dying.

This season's flu symptoms seem to be a near death feeling, at least that's how I've been feeling. But this is so true ")

Can't stand up straight or walk without assistance (vertigo minus the excruciating nausea,) hot/cold, some muscle spasms (not completely abnormal for me though with my epilepsy,) have an appetite but it's difficult to swallow, feel "wavy" if that makes sense; having trouble forming thoughts, loud noises make me want to put my fist through something but I know I don't have the energy. I don't think I have the flu. I took a 12 hour Mucinex earlier in case it was sinuses, but that didn't do anything. The biggest thing is the dizziness. Everything is surreal.

Lol, I should have tried that a month ago, now I'm stuck in bed with pneumonia

TL;DR

I do have to say; I had been having what I called "spells" for years. They were awful. I Googled my exact symptoms; overwhelming sense of dejavù, extreme fear and panic, powdery rubbery smell in my nose, unable to comprehend or respond to people, hot and tingly sensation in my head, music playing in my ears like waking up to an alarm clock radio. Took me straight to epilepsy.com . Told my doc, he got me in with an excellent neurologist who diagnosed me with TLE with complex partial seizures. Started me on Lamictal XR immediately. Made a huge dent. MRI revealed a mass on my brain stem. Referred to a neurosurgeon after my seizures became resistant to meds. He told me that at the very least, the "tumor" had to come out. Referred to Cleveland Clinic. MRI there found gliomas (precancerous) growing from the benign DNET tumor. Found the seizure focal point. Surgery resolved them both.

In my case, Google may have saved my life. I know I am the exception rather than the rule.

I've had the same last week. It's terrible. I'm over it now but it was a real bitch. Thought I was having a stroke.

I was have red urine and google gave me symptoms that were Metal Poisoning,Tumor in my Kidney or Urethra or just blood leakage.

lol

😀 love it

Its not web, its the spider.
