Welcome @sonoranwoman, You are so right about needing to be informed as a consumer of healthcare and learn about our conditions. This can help us become a better advocate for our own healthcare. I'm wondering if you have heard about the Patient Revolution website? Lots of good information on the site including some tools for discussions with your doctor.
