It all starts with a headache, then you get the chills and sharp pain ensues not long after. What is one to do? Do you raid the medicine cabinet, go to the doctors or ask Mr. Internet what could be the problem? According to a Harris Interactive poll, 160 million Americans tend to use the net instead of their doctor to diagnose medical conditions or to find health information. The amount of these so-called "cyberchondriacs" has increased by 37 percent over the last two years. I'm guilty of it, heck I do it all the time. What about you? Leave your answers below!

Guilty. I try not to but honestly half the things I find on the net make more sense and totally do the trick. Obviously if it's something major I'd haul my butt to the doctor's but for every little symptom--internet first.
