I know what you mean. My GF felt that I did too much research and that the site made me more nervous. It was the other way around for me, this site helped me more then any other out on the World Wide Web and helped me understand what the doctors were telling me. I don't believe I would be as mentally secure as I am now if it wasn't for the people here on OCF. I cannot say enough thanks to my family, GF, friends, doctors and my OCF family.
