Hi Phillipa,
There is a tremendous amount of good information on the internet, but it is mixed in with such a large amount of total BS, you have to be really careful. My main research tool is PubMed. You can't always get to the full article without a subscription, but you can find good studies on almost all medications. Next, I look for well done studies and then go through the references for that study. Many of the references have direct links to other studies or abstracts. When searching with Google I will sometimes include the domain name .gov. This will weed out a lot of the trash. Lastly, I look for trusted names such as the Mayo Clinic.
Take care,
Jedi

> Site was down for a while so went to internet and did a search on lymes disease chronic and found that on the first two sites they both say that chronic lymes is the most misunderstood disease and infection control specialists and rheumatologists the worst with diagnosing and understanding it. And that it leads to thyroid diseses, chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia. Any thoughts? Cold and miserable out. Phillipa
