Do you look up at the web when you are sick ?  

I tend to make a post here on Mylot when I have a question. I will look it up myself but sometimes I love to get a more personal opinion and Mylot is a good plaace for that.

I also do that, when I feel like there's something wrong with me, I tend to search it first to find out what it is. Why not utilize the internet and maximize its usage right? And in most of the cases, I can find answers which befits my problem its just that sometimes I maybe using the wrong keywords, and I come up with some rubbish stuff which I dont need. The internet is such a great help for me when it comes to things like these, and the extra knowledge gives me some comfort too. I think everybody should do this, not for self diagnosis, but to give us an edge sort of, and yes, to know which are the right questions to ask the doctor.

Hello,
No I don't really look something up unless it is unusual - but I have to say that I don't usually go to the doctor ever unless I am really sick and can't seem to get better by myself! Thankfully I've been pretty healthy thus far!

Even though I am a nurse, there are a lot of things to refresh your memory on. I find it much easier to look up information on the net, than drug out all my old medical books and look it up that way. Plus there is so much new information always being added. It is a great resource.

The only medical reference material that I have accessed online was a few months ago. My doctor diagnosed shingles, so I was curious was the likely lifespan of the disease and what the implications were. I have not tried self diagnosis via chacking online, although I can appreciate how useful it could be on some occasions.

I do that often and it helps a lot. I am a curious learner and I don't just rely on what my doctor tells me so I would really search the net for the drugs info, the disease I have, some natural remedies, etc. There are also risks that doctors don't discuss to their patients so its good to be equipped with enough knowledge so you'll know what to ask your doctor on your next visit.

Hello my friend atacamaval Ji,
My sickness is not serious as on date, that I require web to be searched. Off course my wife is being treated by penal of specilist for her RA/HTN/DM2/UTI, and everything is under control. babycentre.com takes catre of our grand-childre for necesasry timely advise and suggestions. That is all. If you could open upm with your sickness, i may suggest country type medicines. But you do not seemed to be sick. Have a nice time.
