A friendly reminder about the Community Guidelines (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/about-connect/tab/community-guidelines/). Please see in particular guidelines 1 and 2 excerpted here:
1. Be careful about giving out medical advice
- Sharing your own experience is fine, but don't tell other members what they should do.

2. Remain respectful at all times.
- Exercise tolerance and respect toward other participants whose views may differ from your own. Disagreements are fine, but mutual respect is a must.
- Personal attacks against members or health care providers are not acceptable. Such posts will be removed.

Each person uses their own personal criteria when "liking" a post. Sometimes I like a post to signal that I've read it or that I respect someone's opinion even if is not my own.

Mayo Clinic Connect is a place to share experiences and can include diagnosis, treatment, medication, psychosocial issues, caregiving, mental wellbeing and more. Each individual maintains their right to share or withhold information in keeping with their own definition of privacy and anonymity.
