This is a support forum run and maintained by its members. If you want to have more posts on a particular subject in a particular forum, feel free to respond and add your opinion.

You should phrase your opinions as just that. We don't want or expect our members to be in 100% agreement with one another, so please don't insist that another person's opinion is wrong just because it doesn't coincide with your own.

Thanks,

I do chime in whenever I see the issue being ignored.

I am not saying that another person's opinion is wrong. Just as I wouldn't expect everyone to agree with me.

You are clearly missing my point here. Like I said I sent two private messages to the Admin with no response.

Have a look through the section and maybe you will see what I mean. It is one thing to post your opinion and offer from your own experience. It is another thing to offer a medical opinion and possible diagnosis--to the point that people are posting their xrays for this one person to review--especially when you aren't a dentist or a doctor.

It's a fine line is all I am saying. People in dire, chronic pain are very vulnerable. I have been there.

And to take your own advice--this person disagrees with possible neurological causes over and over again. Enough that I have stopped trying to interject and give my own opinion.

Report posts that you believe are crossing the line with our community guidelines. Nobody here should ever be giving definitive answers or dismissing other people's opinions. People share their health data with other members here all the time -- that's a part of what people feel comfortable doing here sometimes. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as people know the risks of doing so, and remember that nobody here is giving medical advice that you shouldn't first check with your own doctor about before taking.

I'm sorry to say that none of the admins have received any PM from you regarding this issue. If you could go into your Sent PMs folder and forward the PMs you sent to me directly, I can look into that matter further. Thanks.

Thank you for your advice and for listening.

I didn't send a PM. I sent two messages to the "Contact Us" for the forum administrator.

Also a good reminder for me to keep chiming in when a situation catches my eye.

Trigeminal Neuralgia is often misdiagnosed as a dental issue and it is very important for people to be aware of it.

Hi
there was only one Contact Us message from you that we received (no PMs) and it was responded to on the day you sent it (August 8th) with pretty much the same response that DocJohn gave you here.
If you do not see it in your inbox for that day, it may have gone to your junkmail box. I can forward the response to you again from our Contact Us mail sent box if required

I sent one recently and one about two month ago.

I did not receive a response as far as I can see.

You are all listening now so it is a moo point. You do not need to forward it to me. I was frustrated that I didn't receive a response for, what I feel, is a valid problem.
