Yes .... I agree .... I would have give up hope years ago if I didn't keep up to date current knowledge. The problem is so much of the literature is crap! Sorry. So much of the literature is bias by big pharmaceutical drug companies and physicians publishing questionable data in order to further their career, it gets hard to decipher.
That is why I think some of the best info come from p-babble. We are just individuals fighting a disease. We come together to trade ideas and experiences to improve our health. So the quality of material maybe better here than from any journal or pdoc. The difference between us and pdocs .... we live our illness/we have taken the medications/we know the results/we live with the side effects!
