Internet Doctor

[Sarah]

haha, so, here's a gross story.

For the last few days I've had this thing on my leg. I've had it before, and besides being a bit yuk, it normally just stays for a few days, doesn't give me any hassles, then disappears again. I had a fair idea what it was, but decided to confirm my suspicions by googling it during the early hours of this morning. Turns out I was right, but I also found some really really bad photos of extreme cases of it and kinda freaked out. So off to wikipedia i go. According to wikipedia an ingredient in Heads and Shoulders helps get rid of this thing, and that information, together with my love for the movie Evolution, I thought this it'd be a really good idea to smear a layer of H&S over it before I crawled into bed. Now, for some stupid reason I decided to ignore the pain coming from my leg all night - I was pretty tired. So, of course, to my disgust, when i got up this morning it had turned into this really big pussy, painful thing. Yuk.

anyone else use the internet to diagnose/treat illnesses?

[|<3|]

are you going to go to the real doctor now?

[Sarah]

I'll be going to the chemist on the way to school

I have to go to the doctors, turns out you shouldnt go to sleep with headphones in, which i've done for years, because if you move and put your head on the side, the headphone can go in deeper, and make your ear bleed. So now my ear is full of gross stuff and hurts alot.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Lol @ chemist.

It sounds icky, whatever you have Sarah. I'd want to have it treated ASAP.

I didn't know about the headphone thing either, I don't sleep with them in, but I have layed down with them in before, taking them out before I go to sleep. Haven't done it for a while though. I'll remember that for later!

and i didn't know that about headphones either - although, now i think about it it kinda makes sense :p

[Jessii]

My headphones are fitted for more bass so they are a different shape to normal ipod ones and go in a tad more. One ear was really hurting so i tried to clean it with cotton wool buds which came out red and i was like "Oh..that can't be good."
And put it this way, the headphones were originally black.. are now yellow.

I sometimes look up things I might have on the internet, but I usually spend hours upon hours doing so because it so easy to diagnose yourself with something you dont have even if you have all the symptoms. I don't really take advice on how to treat something unless I am about 80% sure it's what I have, and if it is the same treatment as other things with the same symptoms

[Sarah]

yeah, well i went to the chemist, and apparently it wasn't such a silly thing to do...just it didn't work. :p

[lozzamouldy]

mabe you should cover yourself in leeches and stand in a bucket of rat milk on the next full moon.

it MIGHT help......

[Sarah]

damn, i think i just missed the full moon...

[_jimmy_]

Was looking at that last night and my mum ran out saying

"What are you doi...look at the moon!"
