I'm sure what I said was mildly offensive. For that, I am sorry. But I'm so sick of getting online and having people ask me what's wrong with them in a medical sense. I'm not a doctor, neither is anyone else on GC (not positive on this one). This is not the place to go for medical information. If you want medical information, go to WebMD.com. (Although that's not the best either). Or BETTER regardless if you have insurance or not, go to a doctor.

Self diagnosis is a BAD THING. So many people get some ailment, their friends speculate that it's a dozen different things, then they go to WebMD and read about those dozen things and either freak out and think they're going to die, when what they have is actually minor, or don't do anything cause they don't think it's a big deal, and then end up really sick because they used word of mouth or an online self-diagnosis tool instead of going to the only people who can TRULY make a diagnosis...

A DOCTOR.
