@lag Yes, I get that. Maybe I am too sensitive. Whatever the case, when I find my participation is more stressful than helpful I know I need to withdraw for the sake of my own health. I was so upset last night my husband told me to get off social media and talk to him instead!

@ucla2025

I also had to start limiting my time on this forum. Most people are awesome on here and abide by the forum guidelines asking questions and sharing their experiences. But there is one very active person in this forum who touts himself as the expert and their comments regularly spill over into medical advice. If you’ve spent much time here, you will know who this is. He’s been reported to the moderator by more than one person yet he remains. I had to limit my time here because it doesn’t feel like a safe space. In other forums like on Reddit, which can be the Wild West, people will actively call out such behavior.

@ucla2025 You are not too sensitive. It is patently absurd for someone to state that "everyone" on this site has your best interest in mind. They don't. And, btw, I am also a patient at UCLA. We are getting outstanding care and no one should have the. gall to tell you otherwise. I would not travel 1200 miles for care there if I did not know it was outstanding.
