Symptom Checker — Now this is Cool!

I know, we all have a bit of the closet hypochondriac in us. It’s human nature. But in this community, where we’re striving for wellness, balance, and fitness — what do we do when we feel not quite right, but aren’t ready to bother a friend or call our doctor or other wellness professional? Well, WebMD has put out the coolest tool - Medical Symptom Checker. This is genius. You pick your sex, scroll over the human form and get information on not just generic health issues, i.e. scroll to the throat and it wants to know if you have a cough. I scrolled over areas where they gave the muscle name and it can "symptom check" for the internal constraint and/or the topical condition (skin issues…) As much as we love the web and can arm chair diagnose, sometimes the Internet can produce some pretty horrific scenarios when we’re not feeling well. Symptom Checker gets my vote for topline, informative, non-hysterical analysis and at home treatments for common (and not-so-common) ailments.
