I keep hearing so many of you said that you "searched the internet" for your symptoms and the result is "such and such". What exactly do you mean? And how does one do that? Is there a cetain site I can go to?

I would love to know how this is done...

just went to google and typed in "tingling, burning, joint pain, muscle pains...

and then you wait for the word CANCER to pop up or AIDS and scare yourself to death.
Lyme pops up too but since I knew nothing about it, I wasn't super scared at first.

Also, if you go to www.webmd.com there's a symptom checker that will tell you what your symptoms could be from. I use that all the time when I'm sick.
