I think that people should discuss health problems with others. However, I do not think that it would be an appropriate thing to discuss health problems with just anyone. You can discuss your problems with people who may help you. This includes doctors and professionals.

In person I only discuss health issues with close family and friends because I know they really care. Online, I don't mind posting about it, but it will be in an appropriate place, and I try not to get too graphic for those who get queasy.

I am going through tough times as of now and this is why I tend to discuss my personal problems with my therapist and neurologist. He is a very kind and helpful person. Unfortunately, the sad thing is that not many people are that cooperative when it comes to listening to your personal problems.

If any of you are on myLot there you will find scores of users discussing health issues not just theirs but those of their friends and family. I did that too occasionally
