WHEN YOU ARE AFFECTED

Disease investigation

A disease investigation often includes a clinical examination by a doctor. Blood tests, other examinations such as x-rays, biopsies, or functional tests may also be needed for a doctor to make a diagnosis.

Waiting is often what many describe as the most troublesome. Waiting for a doctor's visit, examinations and answers. Once you have received a diagnosis and know what kind of illness you have, you can see if a treatment is appropriate and if so, start it. Sometimes you can't find a cause for the symptoms, but you still don't feel well. It can be frustrating and unnerving. Then turn to your doctor or nurse for help on how to relate and move forward. There is good help to get even in the case of symptoms, which are not due to illness

That information is preferable to searching freely for one's diagnosis online.
