Melody, I know how certain support groups on FB can be troublesome. But I am going to have to go with what gardening1 said. So, I will just give you an example. I belonged to the Occipital Neuralgia support group on there at one time. But the opposite problem seemed to hold true. Instead of looking for or at the causes a LOT of them were touting Vitamins and what not. And, well, some of the folks lived in other countries so they issues with medical care anyway. Anyway, I was made an Admin at one point or rather the owner asked to be one. The problem is as Gardening1 stated, a lot of these holistic or natural remedies CAN interfere with medications that people take. I am not saying Vitamin B is one of them...just saying that sometimes there is a lot of bad information and/or someone might run out and grab herbs or what not without really doing the research and/or checking with their doctor first. In any case, I asked to be removed from being an Admin; sometimes people just don't want to listen. And I also think, at times, it is just a huge vent session, which is okay I guess. Anyway, there is a small fiber neuropathy group there that is pretty good. Don't sweat it though...there are some good people in various groups.
