Clinical Information or Fishbowl?
I very much appreciate the Mayo Clinic providing a forum for persons with PMR. And I do understand why direct medical advice cannot be provided by Mayo doctors. But I have found researching with AI search engines, clinical abstracts with definitive data, concerning everything from coordinating Circadian cycles to syncronize with proper Cortisol... to ... cortisol stimulating receptors in the back of the eye!
But as legitimate as these write ups are, I'm not qualified to vet these pieces of information.
Does the Mayo Clinic monitor this forum, and why can they not at least provide everyone in the forum the links to these clinical findings, studies, professional discussion?
Or does the Mayo Clinic monitor these forums for developing its own Patient Data, and we the forum participants, just a big fish bowl!
(I actually would support being in a "big fish bowl" for the Mayo Clinic. Their work is important and has a profound affect on the common community good)
