	from Joy Victory As an online health editor, I've long been aware that people love to scour the Internet in hopes of diagnosing their latest ache or pain. I'm certainly guilty of doing that, too, which is why I love our newest nifty tool: a symptom checker from Harvard Medical School.

In the Spotlight

About.com Health Symptom Checker
Here, you can start with a body part, or select from an A-Z list of topics, to whittle down your search. Topics are sorted by gender and age -- if you're a man, you won't have to read that "menopause" may be a possible cause of your illness.

Depression

Hay Fever (Allergic Rhinitis)
Along with helping you narrow down your symptoms to a set of potential diagnoses, the Symptom Checker will spit out some great overview articles related to your topic. This one, for example, is useful to anyone suffering from a mild sore throat, itchy, watery eyes and sneezing.

Treating Springtime Allergies
With information in hand, your next step probably should be to check out what else we've got at About.com Health. I, for one, went to allergies.about.com to read this page before heading to the drugstore (while sneezing, of course).
