why you shouldn't use webmd..

i've had this odd slightly stabbing pain in my right hand for a few days..kinda between my pointer and middle finger, but a bit lower (where the veins are)

so i decided to hop on over to web md..

my results??

periphial neuropathy (due to diabetes which i don't have)
hypocalcemium (my calcium levels are always high, not low, despite not having any calcium in my diet)

I also once self-diagnosed myself with peripheral neuropathy, and a couple of other really bad, terminal diseases when I started losing feeling and strength in my hand. Turned out to be a pinched nerve in my elbow that needed surgery to fix, but at least it was completely unrelated to anything I thought had...

I used it for an abdominal pain and it came up with a red alert saying to get Immediate Medical attention. I ignored it and the pain was gone 20 minutes later. Must have been gas

My PCP always tells me the worst. Then he pauses. Then he says, "but that only happens to .000013 percent of the people who have your symptoms." My parents go to the same Dr. and get the same speeches and we all joke about it.
