I believe Google has every intention of keeping your information private, but as with anything on the Internet, you just never know. And yes, unfortunately I do get migraine headaches. :( yeshu wrote:

It looks like Google has a lot of work to do before it becomes useful for the majority of people. Thanks for posting your first hand experience Cory.

I listed my known conditions, medications, and personal profile information. What I didn't see was anything that was useful to me. There was no warning about any of the medications, no information about my conditions (acid reflux and allergies). Nothing. Zilch. Was was even worse was searching for a doctor. I specified my doctors full name, practice name, and city and state and the search results were terrible. My doctors wasn't listed even though the same search on Google's home page, or Maps, would shown the correct results. The search results included Churchill Downs (the home of the Kentucky Derby). This "service" may prove useful to some but for me is was a waste of an hour. I set it up last night. I listed my known conditions, medications, and personal profile information.
