Am I a self-diagnoser?
Well, I know I’m a googler, that’s a fact! I google everything and anything. When I have some sort of ailment, I google it.
After many trips to the beach this summer, I came home really itchy. My face itched, my arms, my hands and my chest. I must’ve been itchy because of the saltwater, right? Yeah, that’s what I thought too. I noticed it after attending a few cookouts as well. A coincidence? No. All in my head? I think not.
Today is the day I decided to google “itchy after sun” and “sun allergy”, after I sat at my daughter’s soccer game for 2 hours in the sun. I came home and couldn’t stop scratching my arms. I found a few articles on Sun Allergy. I decided that’s what I have. Now I have to lather up on the sunscreen, wear long sleeves, hold an umbrella and buy myself a hat.
Then I thought, that’s what my post will be about. I was declaring myself a “self-diagnoser” until I decided to google “diagnoser” to see if it was even a word. I came across this definition at Encyclopedia Dramatica.
Hmm…. interesting.
