Re: Does your googling/worrying create obbsessions??
Yip Google makes me ten times worse. Even if I just google something simple like a sore throat, it always tells you have throat cancer.
Right now I have a niggily feeling that I have lymphoma thanks to google after a lymph node that came up at the start of the year with an ear infection didn't go all the way back down. It got smaller and has remained the same size and I have no other symptoms but thanks to constant googling, I can't get my mind off lymphoma.
