Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	for normal conditions, self diagnosis may not be a good idea. But by looking on the internet, I was able to diagnosis Dennis over a year earlier than his 'official' diagnosis. If we hadn't known to ask the correct questions when we went to his doctors, he may never have been diagnosed. _________________________ Follow our story of living, loving and laughing with a debilitating disease: http://www.multiplesystematrophyandshy-drager.blogspot.com

orchid Registered: 01/21/07 Posts: 3675 Loc: British Columbia, Canada	I've never really tried to self-diagnose myself online. Takes too much effort. Seriously. I prefer to be diagnosed what I have by a doctor, etc. and then, search the Internet for supplementary info. Cuts down me the idiot, winnowing out the extraneous info. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com

Lola Member Registered: 06/23/06 Posts: 3703 Loc: London UK	Yes, I do. We have the NHS Direct which we could consult online for symptoms. It also offers further telephone consultations with nurses on duty who advise accordingly and appropriately. _________________________ <><

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Ladies, thanks for all the great comments. IF any of you have the time, would you kindly place them on the blog? THat would be most helpful. Lola, I think we're gettign there in the US. PArt of the segment was about doctors doing virtual visits. orchid, I don't know many boomers who don't go online and Google symptoms before calling the doctor. Louisa, Ross recently diagnosed me with Trigeminal Neuralgia. I read what he printed for me, but was afraid to go searching for more information. Sometimes it can freak us out. Anno, I'm not surprised. You are so on the ball. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com
