Yep, you're right Koala. I meant to approach it differently in my answer . . . but the point is probably the same.

I have removed my posting and thanks.

We discussed fully it on the thread "Describe your Symptoms" (or something similar) recently, and it was decided that we should not list our symptoms out in this particular manner.

My original answer on this thread described sensations, but WHERE and TIMING was not layed out. In retrospect, Koala is right, and it was still too detailed.

Thanks for questioning that Koala . . . had a blond moment.

I must have missed that thread...I didnt see any harm in trying to describe a symptom.

Here's the thread I meant Erin542.

Have a look and make up your own mind.

I think people are always going to describe their symptoms on forums such as these, either out of curiosity as to whether other people get it, or out of concern for what might be causing it, or simply to share the latest weirdness or problem.

Anyone with a tendency to "get" symptoms from the Internet or to interpret their symptoms as belonging to a particular disease is going to do it anyway. So many descriptions and attributions of symptoms can be found all over the Internet--there's no stopping the tide.

I don't think that withholding descriptions of symptoms will save anyone from themselves. There's too much out there already. We can't be responsible for how people might use our posts.

My opinion--YMMV! (Your mileage may vary.)

I see your point too, Nancy.

I have been (or am) on several forums and each has it's own feel. Some forums literally chew up & spit out most new members. Other forums seem to exist for the sheer numbers, and/or almost capitalize on the vulnerabilities of new people, regardless of their dx (or lack thereof).

This forum has grown so much in the past few months, so I think it is still taking shape. Until it finds it's niche, there are likely to be interim decisions that don't necessarily pan out exactly the same way in the longer run.

I came to this late, Cherie and Koala. I went back and read Catch's thread and am now up to speed. I do agree that we should not make a formal list of symptoms here for the perusal of lurkers and wannabes, but I think you might be overreacting to this particular thread.

We will always want to talk to each other and compare notes, so to speak, and we don't want to discourage that. It's too much a part of the support we give each other here.

This forum has a pretty nice "free speech" policy, as long as it does not offend, and we don't want to become too restrictive, as other forums, where we have run screaming from, have become.

So lets cool it a little OK..
