Please talk to a doctor instead and don't take medical advice from the Hacker News commentariat.
This is your regularly scheduled reminder to take medical advice from doctors, not internet commenters.
Please hesitate before offering medical advice to strangers next time.
Don't give people medical advice if you're not a doctor and you know their situation.
Please only take medical advice from a doctor, and not from people in an online forum.
That's something a doctor will tell you. Not something a website should suggest upon you.
you need the advice of a medical professional, not HN.
So don't trust your doctor but some random stranger on the internet.
the problem is that often the doctor knows what to prescribe better than you... :)
Please don't take medical advice from random people on the Internet.
