Henry, you referred to Dr. Google.
“…and when reading Dr Goggle on this, it always refers to shakiness as
issues with nerve diseases.”
That tells me you may have read previous replies where we have referred
to Google as Dr. Google.
What is frustrating to some of our very ALS knowledgeable members is…
You have yet to see a qualified doctor to address all your new posted
symptoms. You’re not a doctor nor is your wife.
Once again… again
Thousands of Americans have falsely convinced themselves they have a
serious disease, after turning to 'Dr Google' – according to new research.
Instead of alleviating concerns, 74 percent of those who have self-diagnosed,
online searching for their symptoms, made them worry MORE about their health.
That is due to the answers given by Dr Google, of internet medical advice,
was found by researchers to be misleading without proper evaluation by a
a qualified physician.
Sixty-five percent of respondents who used the internet to self-diagnose
themselves the results show typing your symptoms into the search bar might
do more harm than good.
