"Ever since Kristian turned 40, he has become such a cyberchondriac. Now he spends all his free time looking up his ailments on Web MD.
Ok. Yes I totally google worrisome symptoms before I make a doctor's appointment but I don't read about symptoms and then think i have them.
One time I had a wicked ear infection that was so bad it spread to my jaw and I couldn't open my mouth.
Google diagnosis led me to believe I had some rare Asian cancer, so now I know to take it all with a grain (or shaker) of salt.
LOL! I can't imagine how stressful that must be.
phew talk about a tax on the system. Poor thing, she must worry an awful lot.
I do look them all up esp the babies symptoms but I also take them with a grain of salt
Yeah, I don't think there's anything wrong with being informed - especially when it comes to the babies!
The salt is really imperative. lol
