I've been called a hypochondriac so often by my old therapists, psychiatrists, but more than anyone... my own mother.<br /><br />She always refused to believe something was really wrong, when something really WAS wrong! So, she left me to google it out also. Which is how I've managed pretty much all my illnesses since I've had the internet. At least up until the past year and a half - two years when I actually began being able to go to the doctors!<br /><br />I always google everything I am diagnosed with and I google / web-md every medication I am ever given because to me a well informed patient is the best patient simply because, you are right, doctors don't like to tell you all the details. Esp. the gory ones! And they leave us to wonder wtf is going on! But you just can't let them know that you google. You just have to "suggest" that you may "think" this could be a "possible" reason for whatever is going on.<br /><br />I hope things are starting to look upwards for you! =)<br /><br />-KaylaxStrangerxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11896561133585297648noreply@blogger.com
