Since the name of this site reflects Expert answers, it is my obligation, not only as a medical professional, but as a SuperModerator of the site to see that the medical boards do not contain anything of a litigious nature. Referring a member to a site that is not a scholarly site can result in litigation against you, me, and the site.

I hope you understand.
================================================== ========

Yes, I do understand. And I do hope, that you, in your professional capability, and as a SuperModerator, also would see the the site for what it is.

This is a site which offer "The Analyst" which is "used by doctors and patients alike", giving the benefit of helping you to decide whether a doctor's visit, and/or a lab test is necessary.

People tend to either over or undervalue their imagined or factual illnesses. As a consequence - as you would know best - many would either waste yours and your doctor's time (which would have been used for other patients) or, which is worst, delay or dismiss a very necessary visit to the doctor.

So, what is this site?

"Established in late 2002. Diagnose-Me.com began as a unique doctor-programmer collaboration. Being the first service of its kind, its future was uncertain at the time; what was clear, however, was the need for a much wider, deeper, and objective evaluation of patient symptoms than a doctor consultation could provide.

Since then, Diagnose-Me.com has grown to the point where we handle tens of thousands of cases each year with a 99.93% satisfaciton rate. Though it is now a rare occurence, we still look forward to encountering never-befor-seen problems.

Diagnose-Me.com is based on the Big Island of Hawaii, and has doctors and other staff working remotely across the U.S. and the rest of the world."

It also offers "The AnalystTM".

What is it?

"The AnalystTM is a diagnostic tool, now accessible online, that fills the gap between what you need and what busy, human doctors can offer. With less and less time to address a patient's individual needs and yet more and more research and other information to digest, incorrect and incomplete diagnoses are frquently made.

The AnalystTM pulls togehter extraordinary amounts of research, rules, connections, studies and real-world experiance, applying all of this to each and every case that it encounters.

In short, our [not mine, I have absolutely nothing to do with them!] business is that of "connecting the dots" between thousands of clues to give you a clear picture, leaving a doctor (if necessary) free to perform his most important role, namely that of providing appropriate treatment for a confirmed condition."

This last line also, shows the importance and necessity of visiting a doctor. Only they gave you the informations what you need to understand your situations, helps you to form your question you could ask at your visit, ease you mind, and gives you the knowledge, otherwise - even with the best intent of your doctor or nurse - you are unlikely to get.

It is not against the medical profession, do not replace a doctor, but offers a more reliable information than your friend's second cousin's brother experiences. Which, you as well, do know happens often, and that is what really dangerous, and might even have life threatening consequences.

And, than, again, it prominently displays :

'SERVICE PROVIDED BY THIS SITE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR A VISIT WITH A QUALIFIED, LICENCED HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL."

Would it still look to you that I am set out to endanger anyone's life ?

I was tested for borderline hypothyroidism. I have a sedentary desk job and tend to overeat being hungry all the time. I recently tried 5 hour energy and power bar. This combination works for me. After taking 5 hour energy I can focus more and get more done, my performance at work is improving. Honestly, after taking 5 hour energy, I feel more normal than I have in a long time. I have gotten used to feeling tired all day long, usually half asleep at my desk and falling asleep after lunch. Now I feel great, I feel healthier. Also the powerbars seem to fill me up and I eat them for breakfast and lunch. Usually I would tend to really overeat. I would sometimes eat 2-3 meals worth of food for lunch and still feel hungry. Now I eat the powerbar and take the 5hour energy drink and feel great.
I have only tried this for a couple weeks but I will try to continue and see if I lose some weight.
This works for me. You will have to find something that works for you.
