then I would scan the rest of my body for whatever else felt irregular. By the time I was done, an itch in my
left toes had transformed into full numbness in my
left arm, numbness in the left side of my lower lip, sharps pains in my left leg, etc. etc. We are tricking ourselves into having this symptoms because we are looking for them! A "normal" person would have shrugged it off as an itchy toe, but we end up in the E.R. because we just can't leave it at that.
