I believe in our God given instincts and we need to make use of them more than ever before, I’m not saying that we should be our own doctor but we need to work with our doctor rather than just following their advice. In years past we looked up to them and believed in them, we never questioned their knowledge and our trust was given without any doubt. Life is rapidly changing and we have to adapt to keep going, I’m grateful for being able to research because there’s so much valuable information out there, it’s not always easy to get the right answers but you have to be diligent and learn how to find the right answers, truthfully I owe my life to research and doctors that listened to me.

@frouke - What has really helped me is what you mentioned, working with my doctor and one of the things that has helped in the past for me is to plan my conversations with my doctor. Some great tips/suggestions on the Patient Revolution website - https://www.patientrevolution.org/tools.

@frouke
I agree! I was taught the same thing regarding a doctor...do what they tell you to do...nowadays things in the medical arena are much different. I had “old school” doctors diagnose me correctly and heal me, but sometimes newer ones totally miss it or just blow it off like it is nothing. And if you speak up or disagree a lot of them just get mad about it. (not all doctors but it’s a crap shoot who will get it right)
