🀯  How many times have you self diagnosed yourself with a serious illness or condition that turned out to be nothing? 

πŸŽ™οΈ In this podcast we discuss just that. 


πŸ™ˆ The time Ruth F thought she has bladder cancer which turned out to be a UTI. Or the time she convinced herself she had Appendicitis when in actual fact she had bad sunburn! - Don’t Ask!


πŸ™ˆ Ruth W tells a hilarious story that you do not want to miss, one that involves a party, her current boyfriend, who she had only been dating for a few months at the time, a painful bottom, and a photo sent to a friend.


🏼 Deep down we know how scary the thoughts and feelings are at the time when our body goes into fight or flight mode. And that feeling is very much real,  and although 99.9% of the time it is nothing no-one can convince us otherwise. 


πŸ’œ A very open discussion about illnesses we self-diagnosed that turned out to be nothing. You'll end up belly-laughing, we guarantee it! So, if your face hurts from smiling or your sides hurt from laughing, don't worry about it!
