What’s the number one symptom you think people tend to ignore that they shouldn’t?

Really? My mother, my husband and my son have chronic constipation. They've had it all their lives. There is no history of cancer in the family apart from breast cancer. I don't think their risk of colon cancer is particularly elevated because of their constipation. And my husband is a doctor. He's not worried.


Yikes, he doesn't sound like a good doctor.

Change in anything. If you are a medium flow chick and start having heavy flow or clotting get it checked. If you normally poop regularly 1-2 poops per day and then experience constipation get it checked. If you don't normally have headaches and start getting migraines or auras get it checked.

If it's something they've always had it's not really a symptom or change and I think that's the idea of this thread.

Extremely painful menstrual camps that interfere with life (driving, going to work, class, functioning). I should note that most don't ignore. They try to get help, but they are ignored by others.

Changes in eyesight. I have two examples - one where it was MS, one where it was a malignant brain tumor.

Most likely just a floater but mention it to your eye doc.
