It's so tempting to go to the internet for medical advice. Haven't we all given our symptoms a google in the wee hours, when the doctor's office is closed and you can't stop wondering what the heck is going on?
But there's a good reason not to. A lot of what's out there is hokum, baloney, and downright wrong. The best thing, always, is to listen to your doctor. They've been to medical school, and they know their stuff.
