Inside each of us is a little hypochondriac, convinced every ache, pain, and weird spot on our body is heralding doom. To make matters worse, there’s a nifty website called Web MD where you can type in your symptoms and get diagnosed with death. ER doctors everywhere would probably like to have the creators of Web MD shot into space, especially because of stories like the one writer Mark Shrayber shared with Twitter.
Shrayber says he went to the ER because “my legs have turned blue and Web MD says I have deep vein thrombosis.”
It turned out he’d just worn new jeans without wearing them and his skin was stained blue from the fresh denim.

Was this it? The big one?
No! I have the “dumbass who doesn’t wash his new jeans before wearing them” disease and I would like to be executed immediately.

Hilarious and embarrassing and also a very popular tweet! turns out there’s a Hypochondriac Twitter out there, and they all saw themselves in Mark’s situation. People started sharing their own “close calls” that ended up being nothing at all.
If you’re having anxiety over magenta poop, reading these funny hypochondriac tweets might help you relax. Though you should definitely go to the ER if you need to! Better safe and humiliated than sorry.

Went through a phase where I was seriously concerned I had a brain tumor or something because everything I ate – including things like pasta with marinara sauce- tasted like peppermint. Finally realized a bottle of peppermint extract had spilled all over my pots and pans

Had a dr apt two days ago bc my 2yr old had jet black poop. Turns out my 6yr old has been training him to play nice with Black licorice and Oreos…. like a lot of Oreos.. learned a lot about my kids only cost me $80 bucks and some embarrassment.

When I was in middle school I sat my parents down to tell them I have cancer bc I had mysterious bruises all over my body. When they finally stopped laughing at me they explained that I sleep walk into a table every night.

I made my mom bring me to the hospital cause my balls hurt. I thought I had testicular cancer, but they actually hurt because I masturbated 4 times In a row. https://t.co/2xfziFN1T5

This sounds like me when I panicked thinking I’d coughed up blood, but then remembered I had eaten a red velvet cookie https://t.co/dfFZxjgRiO

When I was a kid my mom took me to school for pre-K testing. Dressed me up in new pants, saddle shoes, cardigan, the works. She cried all day when they told her I’d be in special ed because of no motor skills. Dad had me retested in clothes that fit and I did much better.

This also happened to my cousin and I in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We thought we were cool drinking a piña colada out in the sun on the beach and we kept spilling it on ourselves accidentally and had brown spots for weeks on our legs, arms and abdomen!
