IMHO..this is not a good idea especially for those with HEALTH ANXIETY as well as other related issues
we cannot dx ourselves n really really have to be careful of searching net for sx you may hv or feel you have
IM NOT PUTTING PPL DOWN AT ALL
just saying its better to avoid being yr own doctor n self diagnosing
just my opinion

Lyn,

You are right on and often we read contradicting information which only causes our anxiety to spike.

Sound advice and thank you.

Hi Lynn! It's been a while i'ved missed you guys! I hope you and your family are doing well! You too Kitt! Lynn what you said is very true about trying to be our own doctors. Us anxiety sufferers already have enough health anxiety,why add to it. When you read that stuff on the internet it does nothing but make you feel worse. I much rather just go to the doctor.
