good news, I'm not dying or on meds. Just need to run a humidifier and not sleep on one side all zhe time


I'm glad that in this battle of "google says tumor or nothing really", "nothing really" won.
 
It's best to never check WebMd. One of the possible illnesses associated with my stomach ache is radiation poisoning

I am showing many of the classic symptoms. I thought they turned off the nuke plant down the street, but maybe the Marine base has some nuke testing going down
 
As a medical professional, myself, I say: Never, I repeat, NEVER trust a Google search to self-diagnose. Two of my roommates from undergrad are now doctors, and they say that's the worst thing you can do when you go to the doctor. You're much better off accurately reporting your symptoms to the doctor and letting them diagnose you.

So are you or are you not saying I should demand radiation testing by my PCP? I haven't seen the Enola Gay overhead, but I'm no expert

I mostly look just for ***** and giggles because it's funny to see the options. In this case, I wanted to see if ringing in the ear is something common or an immediate ER visit type thing since I'd never had it before. I trusted the doctor to actually treat it......or advise me to self treat it, whatever!
