Do you know of a reputable website where I could list what would seem to be unrelated symptoms..for a possible diagnosis? I know an appointment to the doctor is necessary but that will need to wait until after the holidays. Thanks!
I usually just type random things into the search bar and it will take me where I want to go.
Just type the symptoms in and see what happens.
Just remember, for every possible DX there are 50-200 differentials (things that have the same symptoms).
The excluding factors aren't often listed in English, and can be obvious or lab-only. (Ex: obvious... Yellow, Ex: Lab... White cell count).
Patients coming in saying "I think I have ______." drives doctors up the wall. 4 years of chem/bio. 3 years of med school. 4 years of residency. 2 years of interning = 13 years of school and practical experience. If you've got a shampoo bottle in your derrière, or think you're having a heart attack... That's one thing. But coming in saying "I think I've got Ependymomas of the 4th ventrical ." because you're dozzy & nauseas...Will make them ignore everything you say in the future.
Do yourself a favor........
Make a list of symptoms and take it to your doctor.
Do NOT Google or rely on the internet, because you could have yourself talked into the grave within 15 minutes. You might have fragile fingernails and find 6 million reasons to freak yourself out over it.
Once you actually have a diagnosis and want to search for information or side effects of prescribed medications, etc., that's a bit different.
Using the internet for a "possible" diagnosis.....not a good idea. Not prudent. Not rational.
Drink some nice tea, relax. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Call your doctor or medical provider on Monday to make an appointment.
That's my best advice without any further information to go on.
Best wishes.
We love symptoms here...just ask we'll offer all kinds of suggestions.
You can search by symptom or by where in the body it starts:

www.WebMD.com
Your the only one who knows when to head to the Dr. this is to help you with what your possibly dealing with to ask further questions with your health care provider is it noway telling you what your diagnosis is.
I guess it depends....Whatcha' got??
