where to go to discuss health changes

[rei]

I am wondering about any forums you know of, that seem especially good for questions about physical health. Of course, insert disclaimer about medical advice and all of that. I would really like to hold off on seeing a doc because I'm underinsured atm but would also appreciate a place that seems good for seeing if people know what might be happening with some weird changes. Not so I would take their word as gold but more so I might have some leads on my own research. Even better if it's not one of those... "Oh no you might have [terrible terminal thing] you better go to the ER right now omg!" places.

So, any suggestions?

Forums as on this site?or others?

I know others with all the disclaimers intact,,and they do answer some good tough personal questions,,but sometimes they take the easy way out and say go to your doctor..blah,blah,blah...

I was speaking more about non-Pavlina forum options. Like medical health boards or something like that.

When I said insert disclaimer, I really meant I know any personal advice offered isn't a substitute for a doc visit and I know that's the kind of limits you tend to find online for this sort of thing.
