Today I was reading up on my symptoms on google when I came across Sclerodema and I had an almost 100% symptom match, this gave me cold chills and I started pacing around, unable to think of anything else. Anyway eventually I though this is too much and made a last minute Dr Appointment for the same day, and there was a new doctor and she was so nice and understanding, and even went through each symptom with me and told me about the illness and what it does, rather than just ignore me and say anxiety like most doc's. She then took my blood pressure and reassured me and I feel much better now. She even said I could have a chest X ray to make sure. I guess the moral of this story is that no matter how sure you are you have an illness you most probably don't, and if you are worried, speak to a doctor rather than sit at home making yourself worse. :)
