MDJunction to me

"MDJunction means that I no longer have to feel like I am the only person in
the world with pericarditis. It means that I can talk to others who know
how stressful and how painful having pericarditis can be. It means that I
connect with others to discuss treatments that have or haven't worked for us, so that we have a leg to stand on. I think that having my friends at
MDJunction has allowed me to better mentally and emotionally process my
diagnosis and what it means to me. I feel so lucky to have this community
available to me. I use MDJunction as a way to use my experience to help
others. Reaching out to help others is the only solace I have found since
being diagnosed with pericarditis." (Hazeldee)

Surfing the Web for Medical Information

Written by bjlvls

29 September 2010

The internet is amazing. You can find out almost everything about almost anything. We’ve all been warned of the dangers we face when attempting to make an internet “self diagnosis”. The safest and best medical information is that which you receive from your doctor and other members of your medical team. On the other hand, wanting to research your own health issues after you’ve received a qualified diagnosis is a normal response. The problem lies in being able to distinguish reliable, evidence-based information from poorly conducted research information or worthless hearsay. If you decide to conduct your own health related research, these things should be considered when collecting information.
