Don't Google symptoms

Posted , 4 users are following.

if ive learned anything since being perimenopause dont use google to look up your symptoms, because it only intensify's your anxiety and stress , because my throat hurting and having sinus issues that was causing fluid on my ears , caused me to have my doctor check me for every std there is even though I haven't been with anyone in over 3 yrs , I'm still having a hard time accepting menopause can make you feel so horrible , but I thank God all my blood work came back good and nothing wrong , thank God no stds , google makes you think your dying with some of the worse things on earth , they should have to to where only the medical field can look up symptoms and have to have credentials to be able to access their data base , to stop some of the turmoil it causes people by using their search engine . I've had throat pain , sinuses , red throat , leg pains , rib pains , felt like I've had the flu , vision changes, all within the last yr so I started freaking out and google didn't help the matter either just made it worse , at the end of the day all I know is I hate menopause and google . I hope everyone's symptoms subside and we all fine peace .

    Google basically tells me I have MS, ALS, Final stage Liver/Kidney failure, and about 18 different kinds of cancer. Which used to make me panic. But then I tried searching non lethal reasons for my symptoms about a month ago (literally the same symptoms you listed off) and found this forum. This forum has given me the non-scary reason for why my body has been acting so off lately, to which I am so grateful.
