Advice - NEVER, EVER, EVER go to webmd or google your symptoms. It will just scare the sh*t out of you.

But, back to the topic, after googling my symptoms... really, really scared me thinking about a serious illness, not being able to work, etc. I would be ok for a little while, but then, who knows.... and I know that compared to tons of people I have it pretty good. I just really worry for the many people out there that don't have the job/salary that I do and really live paycheck to paycheck with absolutely no cushion. It must be terrifying.
