good morning.Back to routine and my weekly injection which I hate. Do you ever seek advice on the internet? I do mostly medical terms etc. I know many use google to get some answers. And some others.I liked it a lot. How about you?

I will read product reviews but learned medical advice is often vague and panic inducing.

@JohnRoberts, I like to look at medical definitions so I am aware exactly of what my specialists are telling me.

I usually do, because I hate to go to see the doctor and I try to solve my problems by myself first.

Yes and no. I don't go for much beyond general information, or a personal opinion ("what did/didn't you like about that car?"). Lots of people do, though. I have to laugh when I see people asking complete and total strangers whom they've never met and probably never will meet, "What tattoo should I get?"

Yeah, I generally look up health stuff. Just this morning I looked up "curling fingers", found out it was called Dupuytren's Contracture. I use Swagbucks search, hoping to get a few swagbucks for my trouble. Didn't get any with this one.

I will look up the correct spelling of different words, as I hate to make spelling mistakes. I will look up places if we are considering going somewhere, and of course driving directions, but not a lot about medical issues.

I cannot trust such advice unless I am checked by the doctor; such advice are so simple and found free on internet. I searched many medical advises for remedy only.

I also look for information on diseases on the internet but I've read that not all physicians are happy about this. The patients may think that they can argue with the medical personnel when they've read an article or they misunderstand something.

I've looked up things regarding certain situations, medically, and found some answers, but I don't rely on those answers, because every person is different, and those symptoms could also be for something quite unrelated.
