The internet is always right

I've been noticing lately that my nails have these really fine black lines running through them, they are not going away and getting worse. Luckily I have a laptop running on my bed at all times to calm these type fears on a regular basis.

I look up what this could mean and lo and behold I have heart disease. That's right. So on top of pregnancy and bedrest I now have heart disease to contend with. Could this be right? I picked up my phone to call my doctor with this new news and then thought "she is going to laugh if I tell her that I have a heart problem because my nails tell me so. "

I told Matt about it that night and he said "I have been tasting metal in my mouth for a few days, so I looked it up and it says that I have Chrones disease ." Matt is at the doctor at-least once a week with some kind of self-induced panic.

 Ahhh, so we are internet made hypochondriacs. Ok, what does it say about itchy palms and dry eyes?

  1. If your palms are itchy, buy a lottery ticket. It is a proven medical fact, Amy.

  2. Hi, hope everything is going ok... sending good thoughts your way. I check in on your blog every once in awhile :). I always thought it was kind of neat how we have the same name, our older daughters are near the same age (Avery will be 5 Aug. 2) and I'm due with our third daughter July 5. I wish all the best to you guys, and the safe arrival of your little one, take care :)

  3. Wait... don't leave me hanging - I have those same dark lines on my nails! Don't make me go to the internet to find out what's wrong - it's scary out there.

  4. I thought itchy palms meant money! That's what I've been telling myself at least...

    I had some weird rash on my thigh once so naturally I went straight to the internet. It diagnosed me with an STD. I called my husband straight away to tell him. He still likes to bring this one up for a good laugh.

    I'm so glad I found your blog. I've been a M&R listener for years, but since changing jobs haven't been able to listen as much. I have many, many times over the past 2 years thought of you. I wish you and your family very well, with Kindergarten and the new baby!!
