Finding out more…conditions and treatments. .
Q. Is there anywhere I can go to find more information about specific illnesses, like what causes them?
A. Yes, there is lots of good information on the Internet. It’s probably best to start with a health information gateway. You could try the US gateway, Healthfinder or our UK equivalent, NHS Direct Online. This site includes an on-line encyclopaedia of conditions and treatments, links to thousands of good quality information leaflets and helpsheets and information about self-help groups and specialist organizations.
Patient UK is another good place to look for information about particular illnesses. It is edited by two GPs.
Q. Is there any way of finding out how other people have coped with health problems like mine?
A. You might like to join a local self-help group (link to section below) or the DipEx site contains audio and video clips from people who are coping with some specific health conditions. The site will be gradually expanded as new conditions are added.
