Great article!
I do use the internet to find out things that maybe the doctor has missed or if I didn't quite understand a condition she explained to me. I have gone in there prepared, and I have caught something she didn't catch right away. I went in there thinking I had Raynaud's phenomenon in my feet..at first she sort of rolled her eyes, and then she examined me, did a few tests..and well I was right (to her surprise). Though we still don't know what is exactly causing it, at least we know what it is and how to help it (it can be pretty painful).
It's our bodies, we have the right to protect it. Even if somtimes we are wrong, it's better than having some sort of condition, then having the doctors dismiss it..then having no knowledge about the condition and possibly getting sicker. I think doing research about your health is vital.
