    I knew I shouldn't have done it....

    ...but I googled a symptom (enlarged hamulus .....oooer!) and discovered what I have; scleroderma. So there's something new for me to panick about.

    DON'T GOOGLE SYMPTOMS...... YOU'LL HAVE EVERYTHING OUT THERE!!!

    The thing with googling is that even if the first sites don't turn up something scary - you will continue to look until one does.

    It is extremely rare that Health Anxiety sufferers ever find comfort from googling as the words chosen to search with are usually biased to start with, so you will only search out unbalanced information.

    Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

    That is so true Meg, I found that if I didnt get the results I was looking for, I just altered the words in google until it came back with something that put the fear of god into me..... i feel such an idiot about doing that, but I;ve learnt to leave diagnosis to professionals.

    all the best
