put forth here about posts. I really can't recall any instance in which I've tried to diagnose a poster, rather, refer those folks who have no clue about any neuro issues, or aspects of living with the same to other, legit sites that can provide them with the INFO that can help them decide for themselves.

Only rarely, have I suggested, occasionally strongly that these people either call their docs regarding new symptoms/complications or get second opinons. I'd learned this the very HARD way...before I had become net-conversant. When I found this site and other sites, I only validated what I had instinctively knew to be either off or way out of any reasonable expectations, in relation to what docs were telling me. The info here and at other sources affirmed my own intuitions!

I found as much info here [pro and con] for issues such as B-12, and other supplements as anywhere. What amplifies and validates or invalidates the research, info and claims as to the effectiveness of the supplements has been the personal experiences of each person participating!

I guess it comes down to everyone reading, re-reading, then re-re-reading all the caveats attached to posting. I have found some folks disregard those caveats to the extreme...not many, but a few. Other readers/posters are, I guess not as street/life savvy? I have only found one site in which the 'great guru who knows all' is accepted and respected and it's not an attitude most here participate in.

I guess a lot would be lost language wise if we ALL had to preface every post with the 'I am not a professional medical person, merely a recipient of their attention or inattention-- and I feel that....blah, blah...'. No sane person in pain would/could get past that blather!

Thelma, Can I ask? What prompted this? Was there a particularly ASSERTIVE poster? I don't know what circumstances predated this post.

Well, nuff said. - PAIN FREE MOMENTS [even a couple] for all! - j
