#42 Staying Well

The symptom checker seemed accurate for my purposes. I selected particular symptoms related to TMJ and to Ear Infections because these are disorders I am familiar with. It appeared to be right on target as to the diagnosis of the symptoms.

I was surprised there were numerous resources to assist with TMJ within 10 miles of my apartment. When I lived in West Houston, there was only one dental specialist who could assist with TMJ.

Connecting your medical profile with genealogy can show your predisposition for certain illnesses. When I found the cause of death for one of my mother's grandfathers(Pneumonia and Asthma), it showed me the origins of my past medical history of childhood asthma.

Documenting personal medical history and info is important for your family. My husband would not even know my doctor's name or who to contact in an emergency.
