i'm talking about issues that pop up that make you think, "hmmmm..well that cant be normal". could be anything. day-glow stool, weird bumps, rashes, etc. cloudy pee..haha.

i make a conscious effort to NOT google symptoms. what? you rub Tiger-Balm on it and move on with life? take a wait and see approach?

one got me yesterday. a 3-day minor calf cramp. not a full blown cramp, but it occasionally felt like that twinge you get right before a "charlie-horse"..you know the one where you freeze all movement and hope it passes only to be BAMM !!! #@$!#!#$!! i went mtn-biking yesterday and it was haunting me. the big climbs and i would get that twinge..get off and stretch it out.

then the thought jumped into my brain. DVT? i did have oral surgery a few days ago.. SOB! i cracked and emailed my doc, just in case. prob nothing, but a she suggested a blood test to rule it out. i dont know squat about DVT pain, but it just crept in. my boss had one a few years ago, and it freaked him out. i was so tempted to call and ask what the pain was like.

just wonder when you elevate to threat level orange on personal health things.
