I have just had a moment of rationale and realised how ILL all this googling and self diagnosis is making me.
Why do we do it to ourselves?
How much better would life be if we had no google and just listened to our doctors. why frighten outselves to death?
I'm starting to think it would be better to be that 'horror story' where the GP missed a diagnosis and the patient got terribly ill. Atleast you would have a benefit of ignorance! And if the GP did miss something, you would be pretty unlucky to be THAT person you see in the news etc.
I am been scared of every lump and bump in my body since getting some swollen glands - but i never knew if the lumps were there before and only found them cos i was searching!
Admittedly I have certainly had swollen neck glands causing pain but stressing about it and all the adrenadlin pumping through my body 24/7 can only make matters worst. When did stress ever make anyone better?
I can't believe I have been frightening myself silly.
If I did have the big 'c' or something, I'm hardly giving myself a good start.
