In this day and age, isn't hypochondria just making good use of the information you've been supplied? More »

Does Jennifer Lopez Have Gallstones? Dr. Jezebel Is On The Case

Dodai Stewart — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 17:00:00 EDT

We've been expecting Jennifer Lopez to announce that she's expecting. And she says not a word! Has she been attending the Christina Aguilera School of Silence? (Earlier, Perez Hilton reported that Marc Antony's ex-wife, Dayanara Torres, confirmed the pregnancy, but she has since backtracked.) Now we're forced to wonder: If she's not knocked up, what's with the tummy? It totally sticks out! And, by the way, so does ours. What could it mean? Time to visit our favorite professional hypochondriac, the WebMD Symptom Checker. Find out what's wrong with us — and J. Lo! — after the jump. More »

Oh No: Does Amy Winehouse Have Syphilis?

Dodai Stewart — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 16:30:00 EDT

Amy Winehouse is on vacation (and, apparently, not showing up to the VMAs!), as you may know. We saw this picture of her relaxing and we thought, how nice! And then we looked closer. Amy seems to have some sort of... irritation. In her bikini area. Sure, it could be razor bumps — we've been there! But what if it's not? We're always looking out for our girl. (Her husband sure isn't!) So, naturally, we consulted our favorite specialist, WebMD. Find out what the good doctor told us, after the jump. More »

Paging Ms. Winehouse — Dr. Jezebel Will See You Now

Dodai Stewart — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 15:05:04 EDT

Our fave U.K. tabloid The Sun has another medical emergency regarding soulful songstress Amy Winehouse! This time, the singer seems to have something white up one nostril. Whatever could it be? We decide to consult our favorite doctor, WebMD. After all, the symptom checker always makes house calls! More »

Paging Dr. Jezebel... Amy Winehouse Needs Us, STAT!

Dodai Stewart — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 12:23:18 EDT

It's becoming clear that Amy Winehouse is just not taking care of herself! She was recently spotted walking the streets with some sort of growth on her arm. And since we just read that more and more Brits are contracting STDs, we decided to intervene, check out WebMD, and make sure Wino's not contagious. The hideous bump and our non-professional diagnosis, after the jump! More »

When It Comes To Women's Health, WebMD Is Still Living For, Well, Yesterday

Jennifer — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 17:20:19 EDT

Apparently the folks over at WebMD didn't get the memo today about new recommendations for women at risk of one of the deadliest types of cancer. We know this because we went to WebMD to type in some of the newly-identified symptoms — "bloating", "fullness" "pelvic pain" and "tenderness to touch" — and instead of coming up with, say, ovarian cancer, we got the following: More »

Our (Achey) Left Foot

Jennifer — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 15:35:26 EDT

This morning we arose to find we had... an achey heel. The left heel to be exact. After examining it thoroughly, we couldn't detect any problems (at least not any that were evident to the naked eye ), so we turned to the hypochondriac's favorite enabler, WebMD. Why we're frantically trying to find a neurologist even though we probably just need to moisturize our dried out feet, after the jump. More »

Symptom: Constant Cramping

Jennifer — Mon, 21 May 2007 19:24:37 EDT

We've got bad cramps. You know, the kind that once warranted removal from P.E. class, or at least one of mom's Valium. Thing is, we don't get a period [Speak for yourself! -Ed] and we can't stop working (it's our first day!), so we turned to our beloved friend/worst enemy, WebMD, to distract us. Which didn't really work. See why we're convinced we have a bone infection, after the jump. More »
