I think people are always going to describe their symptoms on forums such as these, either out of curiosity as to whether other people get it, or out of concern for what might be causing it, or simply to share the latest weirdness or problem.

Anyone with a tendency to "get" symptoms from the Internet or to interpret their symptoms as belonging to a particular disease is going to do it anyway. So many descriptions and attributions of symptoms can be found all over the Internet--there's no stopping the tide.

I don't think that withholding descriptions of symptoms will save anyone from themselves. There's too much out there already. We can't be responsible for how people might use our posts.

My opinion--YMMV! (Your mileage may vary.)
