@gloaming Hey gloaming, I wasn't pointing fingers at anyone specifically about good, bad, misleading or whatever information, just speaking generally. But I think we all know this happens, and FWIW, I think it's important to point out that out. I really hate seeing someone so upset and confused about what to do about their medical issues, especially when some of that comes from the mixed messages they get from others on the internet. Some of that information is good, some of it's not so good, and it can be hard for anyone not very knowledgeable on a topic to figure any of it out. Hence the best source for personalized information on a medical issue is the person's physician.

@marybird Okay, I was concerned that maybe I had overstepped and was being called out, but in an indirect way. I try very hard to present balanced and complete information so that the patient can formulate their own questions or link two-and-two together...if you know what I mean. I'm trying to facilitate, not irritate or confound people who often seem rather unhappy and desperate to hear from others with shared experience or a shared diagnosis....often not a great one.

Thanks for explaining your post. Nice to have you here, BTW.
