I go days, even weeks., without consulting symptoms in google. And then any word from the doctor, even if the news is seemingly good, I become obsessed again. I shared my latest results with my husband and he says "great news!" But in my mind I wonder what they're missing and search my symptoms more and more. Wish I could flip a switch and turn that evil part of my brain down low.

You answered the question yourself as  to why you should not Google;  "But in my mind I wonder what they're missing and search my symptoms more and more."

Where do you have the icon for Google Search on your computer - would it be in your tool bar?  No matter where it is, now is the time to delete that icon as it is way to easy to click on the icon and be transferred to Dr. Google's office.

Trust your Dr. as you chose to see him and paid for his expertise.

Kindly,

Kitt

HI MOTHEREARTH . I keep thinking that they missed some thing to. I do not google it only makes it worse. I try not to think its some else. I know its hard to do. I think a lot of us think this way. I read one of your post and you have the same problem when you wake up just like me. My e mail is on my profile. Feel free to e mail me so we can talk. Misty.

Same problem here! I'm really struggling to believe anything that my doctor says even when I'm "perfectly healthy" a new symptom pops up and I can't seem to get it out of my head until I look up my symptoms. It's a terrible cycle.

Sorry to hear you're having the same problem, kaykim. It's a terrible cycle! It's more than day to day, it's like minute to minute. It really is so hard! Let's try, together, to stay away from google.
