Does anyone know how you can find sites to ask questions on certain topics like medical or other questions and get insights or advice? And that would be somewhat reliable.

Try Getting a bible study with those that teach Gods word NOT mens.

“The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.”​—Psalm 115:17. *

I like WebMD, but usually just ask my DR. It's too easy to find the symtoms to ailments and think that is the problem when it is something completely different. I hope everything is ok though.

I agree with Web MD, however you can always just google the symptoms, disease, etc and see what pops up.  Always remember to check with your primary before trying on your own!

Sometimes primary's are really busy and a question about what you found can get things rolling in the right direction.

I did not think your question was that difficult yet you got some really different answers! Bible quotes? Seriously? Did I miss something? Another person did not know if you were being serious? I did not see anything that would indicate that you were anything less than serious. You have access to the computer and google provides all kinds of sources when you enter "medical questions". Entering "Anonymous Medical questions" gives you a bunch of options. I find that so many of these sites have cookies that invade your privacy. If the information is highly confidential I would use a public library computer with a fake e-mail address. I used to volunteer on a crisis line that guaranteed privacy and every major city has one. You could try and call one of these and have the crisis counselor find the information you need. You can block your phone number when calling by entering "*67" before entering the number you wish to call for extra security.

Google searching will have you thinking you have every disease known to man with just one of your symptoms. I recommend searching individual doctors websites and even calling the actual office that specializes in the area of your concern because nurses can give you advice on your issue although they will never admit they are giving you the advice!

The bible does cover medical advice but she also uses words reliable and topics.

Obvious you dont seem to think so.SERIOUSLY!

2nd Tim 3:16 ALL scripture is inspired by GOD and beneficial for teaching reproving and settting matters straight.

Not sure why some comment on something they know NOTHING about?Still time to catch next bus.

Gods word is "Good for your health"

Through our health insurance, Blue Cross Blue Shield, I can call "Ask A Nurse".  I can tell the nurse my symptom/s and ask questions.  The nurse can give me some insight and recommendations

There are no forums in WebMD. I don't want to type in a question and then get websites that give a supposed answer.  I want a forum like this one where I can chat with someone.

No you didn't miss anything. He is an idiot.

This is not anything I need to call a crisis center for. I just want to ask a question and get some feedback.  Going to the doctor is expensive especially if you do not have insurance.

Google searching will have you thinking you have every disease known to man with just one of your symptoms. I recommend searching individual doctors websites and even calling the actual office that specializes in the area of your concern because nurses can give you advice on your issue although they will never admit they are giving you the advice!

Nurses in my area will not talk to you. They tell you to make an appointment.  Office visits start at $175 and then anything they do is extra.  And you pay upfront.

Thanks to the ones who gave me serious answers.   Here is the thing with WebMD.  Everything leads to you are dying.  I had a problem with my pet and my vet told me I was not allowed to look at PetWebMD ever again.  Yes, if you did not know that does exist. lol

I know how to google.  I have done that.  I have seen sites that have forums where people can ask questions and others can answer about their experiences with a similar situation.  Ask a nurse is not going to be able to tell me anything that I don't already know.
