Thanks for sharing. Like everything, I think there is a balanced approach to strive for. I don't want to get in the mindset that my internet research substitutes for my doctor's input (which happens easily enough), but do want to be as informed and actively involved in my own care as possible. And I don't find doctors inviting that kind of patient participation. It certainly doesn't fit well into the rush-rush type of appointment that many doctors maintain.
Good for you for insisting upon the attention that resulted in accurately diagnosing your Reynaud's.
