Resources

The internet is a vast wonderland of information. Which is great when it’s 2 a.m and you’re trying to figure out if that pain in the left side of your stomach is anything to be concerned about, but not so great when the results indicate anything from gas to cancer. As a spoonie, we have to use the internet to the best of our advantage, otherwise we would be in the doctor’s office multiple times a week (and sometimes we are). 

I have compiled internet resources to hopefully narrow down your internet searches and make your life a little easier. If you have any other suggestions, let me hear them!
