So, I had been listening to the radio this morning and for the first time heard this term - cyberchondria.

NOTE: This post is not directed at anyone, just something I have a strong opinion about

I have a long history of finding it annoying when people google symptoms.

In the case of MS it's very easy to put in certain symptoms and come up with MS. And, of course, some people then believe they have the disease and the doctors don't know what they are talking about when the patient is told they do not have MS.
