Not trying to be judgmental, God knows I did my share of self-medication. My point was that docs are "trained" to see certain things as symptoms, be it a disease or a personality trait. However, I, like yourself, know quite a bit about any med I will take, or expect any doc will offer me for a specific condition. Having a PDR on hand, and a working knowledge of biochemistry doesn't hurt. Knowledge without discernment, however, can be "dangerous". And this is where the so-called professionals believe they have an edge on "us".I would be happy to play an IQ test with any of them.Use your knowledge discriminantly. Show you are making educated and informed consent to YOUR treatment!
