I have just done a bit of medical self-diagnosis via internet, only to discover there is nothing wrong with me.
I wonder whether I should make an appointment with my doctor just to let her know.
we're all making our own sense of things

The flip side is paying too much notice to what you read on the internet. A friend who’s just been through hip replacement surgery, feared her recovery wasn’t as quick as perhaps it should be so consulted the net for other experiences. ‘Oh yes, I was free of pain within a week’ someone wrote, and ‘I didn’t have any problems with the exercises the physio set me’ spruked another…. Poor thing, that really set her spirits at a low ebb for a bit. [But now she’s fine].
Yeah, do it. And make her wait an hour before you tell her and then charge her enough to buy a set of tires for your car. Hah!
I don’t think she’d pay…
You are my idol. I am not allowed near the internet for such things.
I have astonished even myself in this regard…I have not blogged the extraordinarily long list of diseases and conditions with which I have previously (mis)diagnosed myself.
You must be the only person to diagnose yourself with nothing. You could write an article about it for a medical journal. Very original research.
Damn you, I think I just lost a lung laughing at this.
I’m with Pen, you are a medical anomaly.
Do you think it will give me more credibility with her next time I visit with a certain case of something or other?
Definitely.
