Dave think about what you just wrote. You wouldn't come to a
place like this for advice and as you disagree with the
poster you just answered (who said "Nobody here is offering
medical advice. People offer information based on what they
know. Experience is a good teacher. Sharing one's
experience is a
worthwhile thing to do and gives some meaning to having a
disease as
well as diminishing other people's confusion") then you
don't like sharing experience and information? Soyou don't
want advice, you don't agree with sharing, so ... is there a
reason you ARE here?
