> LinkadgeYou are right, it is difficult when we are making these choices and decisions about our care. I try to look at as many different sources as I can. I actually start with the full prescribing information for anything I have chosen to take. I might not understand all the science, but I do feel more informed, which helps guide my decisions. I also go to places like this to hear other experiences. I try and talk to as many professionals as possible- pdocs, family docs, pharmacists, nurses, etc...
You are right, how do we make decisions if we don't know if the data is true/false?
Taking these meds is a choice, a difficult choice to make.
