Oh thank you, for a major hypocondriac such as myself, that website is pure gold.

I do have to say that I diagnosed a somewhat rare and hard to diagnose condition in myself. And I was spot on! It was confirmed by a specialist, who thankfully was well versed in his profession. (which I don't think is always the case)

Being able to search the internet for symptoms of medical problems has been a very useful tool for patients to help doctors pin down or eliminate problems. The caveat is not to scare yourself silly with symptoms you have that may point to a devastating disease. There are many same symptoms that pertain to many different ailments.

Ain't that the truth!
