I did not think your question was that difficult yet you got some really different answers! Bible quotes? Seriously? Did I miss something? Another person did not know if you were being serious? I did not see anything that would indicate that you were anything less than serious. You have access to the computer and google provides all kinds of sources when you enter "medical questions". Entering "Anonymous Medical questions" gives you a bunch of options. I find that so many of these sites have cookies that invade your privacy. If the information is highly confidential I would use a public library computer with a fake e-mail address. I used to volunteer on a crisis line that guaranteed privacy and every major city has one. You could try and call one of these and have the crisis counselor find the information you need. You can block your phone number when calling by entering "*67" before entering the number you wish to call for extra security.

No you didn't miss anything. He is an idiot.

This is not anything I need to call a crisis center for. I just want to ask a question and get some feedback.  Going to the doctor is expensive especially if you do not have insurance.

Google searching will have you thinking you have every disease known to man with just one of your symptoms. I recommend searching individual doctors websites and even calling the actual office that specializes in the area of your concern because nurses can give you advice on your issue although they will never admit they are giving you the advice!

Nurses in my area will not talk to you. They tell you to make an appointment.  Office visits start at $175 and then anything they do is extra.  And you pay upfront.

Thanks to the ones who gave me serious answers.   Here is the thing with WebMD.  Everything leads to you are dying.  I had a problem with my pet and my vet told me I was not allowed to look at PetWebMD ever again.  Yes, if you did not know that does exist. lol

I know how to google.  I have done that.  I have seen sites that have forums where people can ask questions and others can answer about their experiences with a similar situation.  Ask a nurse is not going to be able to tell me anything that I don't already know.

A shame you get called an idiot for presenting the bible as a cure all remedy.But i guess there is no cure for "Controversialitis!"Call her stupid and watch how fast she runs to her mommy and warns you.Once CG saw a negative reply was made by another member it was a matter of time before i knew she would use that to insult me.So if UR gonna make known you ignore me why dont you?I actually gave u good advice to use the bible to help you find answers to your questions.A shame you and the other member dont REALLY support bible.

Over 400 views per month PROVE there are many out there that seek bible truths in the Discussion topic on bible that i will gladly keep going.

You could try the Mayo Clinic website, or your local hospitals' site.

Never thought of Mayo Clinic.  Our local hospital does not have a forum where you can post questions and get responses.  I don't think Mayo Clinic would either but I may look at it.

They do, actually.  It may or may not be what you are looking for, but it can't hurt to look.

Oh okay.  Thanks.  I will check it out.  Sometimes it is easier to get insights and answers from real people who have dealt with the same thing than a doctor's office. 

It is kind of like when a friend told me his dad had Alzheimer's he had never been around that at all.  I have had family that has had it and have been thru it so I could tell him things and understand better when he said his dad didn't even know who he was.  Sometimes people can post about their experiences with things and you can say hey, that has happened to me, and maybe better understand things going on.  Does that make sense? lol

Makes total sense to me.  When my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, we didn't have a clue what to expect.  My brother found a website that gave factual information, and had a forum for patients and family to relate their experiences.  It was a lot of help.

It really is. And more than just medical sites that give this and this will happen.  That isn't always so.  And people can post say "hey this is happening and has anybody else experienced this" and others can chime in.  I never told him anything negative like hey there will be a time when he doesn't even know who you are.  The HH nurses did that.  I think that is horrible.

I told him that yeah he doesn't "know" you but I think he does KNOW you.  He may not can remember your name (he called him by another family member's name) or know you are his son but I think he knows that you are someone he is suppose to know and that loves him and that is there to take care of him.  Does that make sense?  Any kind of dementia is a horrible disease.  I hate that so much.

Try asking your primary care physician. 

[alice44]

If it's medical I agree with medweb.com.  You change your settings to not accepting cookies though.  One comment was that you will get all sorts of email back and that will help with that problem.  If it's not medical, try googling your question or go to Wikipedia.

I don't have a primary physician.  And even if I did they do not just answer questions.  They tell you to make an appointment.  I do not need to make an appointment. I just wanted to ask a question and get some feed back on the topic.

Webmd does not have fourms where you can ask real people a question and get real feed back like on this site.
And I would never put my email in for people to email me.  As far as Wikipedia, that site is not reliable. Anyone can change and edit the site any time they want to.

I am pretty sure I have a good answer for what I was wanting to know.  I would still like to get some feed back if I could find a good place to get the info I am needing.

And as for webmd - everything you search for on that site - leads to death. lol

I hear ya.  The medical information is good as a place to start, but having other people share their experiences, and how they dealt with it, kept us from getting overwhelmed by the disease. 
Being able to talk with someone going through the same thing was a godsend.
