The Neurology Web Forum is hosted by the Harvard Medical School Dept. of Neurology at the Massachusetts General Hospital, but is an unmoderated forum to discuss and comment on neurological topics without any input from MGH professionals. Inevitably, it turns into the sort of peer diagnosis and virtual prescribing that is what’s wrong with self-help groups (although, as the friend who sent me the link suggests, many of the stories have a poignancy to them). “Please help; is it MS?” “What could ‘abnormal EEG’ mean?” “Please help — back is getting worse.” “Epilepsy or am I sick?” [thanks, Pam!]
