I also think googling symptoms are a bad idea. All it does is give you every disease out there. Remember before the internet when they had those medical books? That was bad enough but the internet has opened a whole can of worms.

The only place Jim's doctor likes and will even consider as internet worthy is the New England Journal. He'll look things up in front of us if I ask a question. Or he simply calls his neuro friend in Cali who's a researcher. Sometimes he'll come to a site I suggest and has no problem letting me know if it's bs. lol I have invited him to come here on several occasions. I wonder if he lurks?
