Self Diagnosis and Hypochondria

[Mich the Tester]

I have noticed a disturbing pattern in all websites claiming to aid self diagnosis of minor medical inconveniences. Search almost any symptom, like headache, burping, acid indigestion, ingrowing beard hair etc and you’ll inevitably be told you may have an incurable form of cancer. Don’t let Wilmslow anywhere near an internet.

Does that mean that the diagnosis that I am a nutter might be wrong?

Erm, after what you asked me last night I reckon there's plenty wrong with you. I'd look it up.

I once goolged "night sweats". The result was pretty much aids or cancer. The real reason, in the end, was that I was getting a bit fat.

I’ve had those before. They stopped when I connected the central heating to a programmable thermostat.

Mine cleared up when I stopped drinking half a bottle of scotch every night. So did the headaches.

Cancer and known communicable diseases are about the only things not wrong with me. I seem to have everything else that goes with living a life of excess and the consequences of getting old.
