If there was a search engine where things like the Daily Mail scare story website results were excluded, would you use it?

Probably yes!
But then I was advised to only look on the Patient UK website and can't stick to it! When HA is bad I feel driven to search until I find the worst thing; only when I don't find anything dramatic do I stop.

In fact I would go as far to say that it has almost become a superstitious thing - the one time I don't look up symptoms will be when I do miss something!:scared15:
