Went to doctors dozens of times with severe but vague symptoms. Was admonished repeatedly for doing my own research. All the doctors get saying it was anxiety, and that I was simply a hypochondriac. After years of this found out I had 3 fairly uncommon conditions that mixed to produce crazy issues. Proper treatment resolved my issues. I’ve met many others who have had similar problems.

Consumers should always be allowed to do their own research.
