Internet Diagnosed Diseases

I’ve had a weird headache sensation and stiff neck for about a week now.

Taking to the internet, I quickly found and completely convinced myself I have viral meningitis.

Everything except the high fever fits my symptoms to a T, so that’s got to be it.

Or it’s a cold.

Or maybe it’s Lyme disease.

Or maybe I’m tired.

I’m giving it a week – 10 days either way.

It’s just funny how easily we convince ourselves of the worst case scenario. I went from “why do I feel so crappy?”, to “Holy crap I have this!”, and back to “I just feel crappy” in a days time.

I guess if I’m not careful I could have Ebola too.
