Of course, your own personal physician is the best source of information on what treatments are best for you and your own unique, individual circumstances. If you don't like or trust your doctor, get a new one. Seriously.theshots

But there is no reason why we can't share and compare and yes, even rate our experiences and results with different medical treatment options.
