Marci has a great list of websites she will post later (I assume...she usually does). In the meantime, I always start my internet search for medical stuff at www.webmd.com. It's usually the most accurate information I can find. BTW--You aren't bothering us. You are doing the smart thing and searching for answers to your questions. Amanda
It's not all that uncommon to have OCD-like thoughts, especially when it comes to SI with BP and one can certainly have OCD and BiPolar Disorder at the same time--sometimes one or the other will be the most prominent and sometimes the prominence will change.
It's also not uncommon for docs to add or adjust our dx, as they see us--or for a new doc to pick up something that somebody else missed--docs are just like normal human beings, they have their own biases.
