@djfilipiak, with all that you have going on I can understand researching using an AI agent like Geminia Pro. The way you phrase your question or prompts can lead to different responses. That’s why it is absolutely critical that you verify the information and check the original sources that are referenced. Click the link icon to review the original source to see if it comes from a trusted health source.
AI generated answers can contain errors and incorrect information. Also keep in mind that any personal health information you enter, goes into the AI’s database.
We have developed guidelines around the use of AI on Mayo Clinic Connect.

The part I'd like to underline is that AI tools do not replace human judgment or oversight. Any text, image or video generated by AI should be viewed as a starting point, not verified factual information. It may contain inaccuracies, biases and other problems. As you mentioned, always, fact check and review for accuracy, relevance, and unbiased balance.
I agree with @nycmusic, that you're doing a great job researching and advocating for yourself, including submitting second opinion requests at the nation's top hospitals and seeking care where there is a multidisciplinary approach.
@colleenyoung yes. I never really considered AI until I got bored recently. Then it was providing me things I already had confirmed and done. It's only recently that I've integrated it but I've been putting it as much to the test as possible.
Unfortunately Mayo clinic denied my case, so here I go navigating another brick wall 😔
Merry Christmas.
