@pyates … I understand where you're coming from, but many people have had difficult experiences with medications, and it's absolutely valid to approach any treatment with caution. That said, it's important to remember that each person’s journey with this disease is different, and what works (or doesn’t work) for one person may not apply to another.
Researching treatment options, including medications, isn’t about blind trust in the pharmaceutical industry, it’s about exploring every possible tool to slow progression and preserve quality of life. I think we can all agree that those living with chronic illness deserve access to accurate information and support without judgment or unnecessary negativity.
If you have concerns, it’s perfectly okay to raise them, but doing so respectfully helps everyone feel safe to share their experiences and make the best decisions for their own health.
