Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diets

I've never Googled- but I will go to WebMD and other sites with real, "not in it for the money" (as in, to sell some magic product) doctors and experts.

Hmm, I wonder what Google'd have me do...

We only google some things,not often though,mostly we too search  med sites or research site with definate

accurate knowledge...i have also found a lot of site are accurate in lots of data..most times we skip the add sites

one must be very careful inaccepting lots of the data ...at times it can be confusing and can frighten people by the content...

One quote I read said that if, their example, you looked up headaches, you could get half of the links talking about stress and the other half talking about tumors, leading to an emotional response that it's 50% likely to be a tumor.

When stress headaches are the most common, then migraines, then cluster headaches, which are rare. Sinus headaches would be somewhere in that list (the chart was in a neurologist's office, and sinus headaches aren't from nerves in the way the others are), probably pretty high.

Now a sudden headache unlike anything you've felt before should be watched, and if there's numbness in the body, loss of speech, of balance, or any other symptom at all, medical attention is needed. Yes, it could be a first migraine- but if it is a stroke time is of the essence. Don't Google, don't go to the medical reference. Do not collect $200. You need to be in the hospital in 3 hours for the best hope of successful treatment.

And do not drive yourself, no matter what. The ambulance drives faster than you can, and you have medical personnel and equipment in less time than if you were in a car. Especially if you black out. If the symptoms are mild someone else could drive you, but keep that in mind.

My mother didn't have a headache with hemorrhagic stroke, one caused by a bleed in the brain rather than a clot. But though the medication that is so important in the much more common type of stroke couldn't help her, her getting to the hospital as soon as she noticed she couldn't write or speak coherently still made a big difference.

But still, this only applies to sudden, unusual headaches. It's in the realm of "better safe than sorry". And symptoms of stroke are a life-threatening condition- in the US the hospital cannot turn you away for not having insurance or any other reason other than "we are locked down under quarantine because of a very deadly, highly contagious illness".

Okay, my public service message is over!
