If you have received a diagnosis of a new problem and want to explore it further on the Internet, be sure to look up reputable sites. Two that can be relied on are www.nlm.nih.gov, produced by the National Library of Medicine, and www.healthfinder.gov, produced by the US Department of Health and Human Services. Many major medical centers also provide useful, accurate information online.
Avoid anecdotal information posted by patients or patients' relatives, as well as write-ups by commercial organizations that overtly or covertly sell products.
