Like all medical conditions, the internet provides a vast array of information. Unfortunately it isn’t always easy to separate the good from the bad. We provide a shortlist of credible resources for your information. We have attempted to select website for their credibility, usefulness, and lack of commercial bias. Chat room advice can be interesting and the support wonderful, but remember the best source of reliable medical advice for your particular situation is a competent physician who has access to comprehensive information about your specific medical history.
