i wouldnt be here today if it wasnt for the internet and freedom of information. doctors told me to go to bed for 15 yrs because that how long it takes to get rid of M.E, which is just another word for Hypothyroidism which i have, they didnt put 2 and 2 together. Doctors lied to me also when i asked if there was an alternative to thyroxin, they said there was no such thing.
If you are happy and healthy you wouldnt even think of looking online for symptoms, normally hypocondriacts have health issues and they dont feel right so why not try and help yourself if you can.
