After a few years of reading about a mental health condition whenever it was randomly mentioned by a poster, I was able to identify that I also have the same medical condition. I had heard of the condition but didn't understand it at all.
The knowledge gained from Mum's net over the years helped educate me a lot. Anyway, I recently got formally diagnosed with it after years on the waiting list, and everything I learned from Mumsnet was correct!
AIBU to think that Mumsnet can be a tool to help people get accurate medical information/advice in this day and age? I know most people are not doctors, but there is an element of lived experience.
