Good advice. :)
If a doctor has a problem with me researching things then I need another doctor. Any time a medicine is prescribed for me or even my dog I check it out before I take or give it. If a doctor says I have something I check that out too. My doctor kept blowing me off in GA just saying everything was from the surgery I had. If I hadn't "googled" the symptoms and found out I had all the symptoms of fibro and chronic fatigue I would still be thinking it was all in my head. I still need to find a doctor here. And since I have had aneurysm surgery twice he needs to at least read my chart. lol
