Yup... my DH yells at me all the time for it to. WebMD, Wikipedia and Google are my enimies!

No. I dont take medical advice from websites. This one included. It is dangerous and scares the crap out of me

YES! all the time. i cant even begin to tell you everything i have had myself and my kids diagnosed with. From now on i dont go to those sites till i have a diagnosis from my doctor and i can just learn more about it.

I actually already posted about is on the health board.
Everything I read says that it's nothing - except 1 website said it could be the sign of a malignancy - however very rarely. That's all I needed - was to see that word. Instant full blown anxiety attack.
I think we need an anxiety attack emoticon.
