21 Dec 2023 Still NOT a medical professional

G'day ms friends and family. There appears to be constant confusion with my stance on certain subjects, let us try to clear it up AGAIN.

I am NOT any sort of medical professional. Nor do I play one on television, Things that I say are generally based on 40+ years of experience. Both Hers and Mine. We are a VERY pro DMT family after having used several over a very longtime.

If You are doing something that I disagree with more power to YOU, it is your life not mine. As always I suggest that YOU discuss this with your paid medical professionals, all YOU get from me is an opinion.

Royce

Merry X-mas and happy New Year

I am well aware that you are not a doctor.

No confusion here at all.

My reasons for not taking DMTs....immuno suppressants are far from "foolish".

As most know here, MS is different for everybody and what works for YOU is not necessarily good for others.

It's neither confusing nor surprising 🤣 I'm sure the threads are still evolving, but here's the summary of how this plays out: 🍿

Giving an absolute direction on how to MS is guaranteed to generate attention in a group of people living with all the different ways there are to live with MS, and has many times over. The opposition is either in concern for those potentially easily influenced by or vulnerable to frequently regurgitated ideas, or because there's no one correct way to get on with MS and they are living just fine despite whatever the "gold standard" may currently be. Some banter, deflection, and overall refusal to see varying points of view will set up the repeat episode coming soon.

Hey look, here's a squirrel! 🐿️

Rest assured Royce, I do not believe that anyone would be so confused as to believe you are a doctor🤣

You can rest assured that no one ever thought you were a medical professional.

I'll make an excuse for you Royce - maybe it's the pain your TN is giving you currently - but your exhortations to people on what YOUR view is of what THEY should do with THEIR lives and THEIR MS get a bit bombastic and rather too forceful on occasions - and your recent posts have certainly been in this vein. It's all very well to encourage people to consistently take THEIR meds and to do the best THEY can but no matter how many times YOU declare that YOU are NOT a doctor, people who are new to this board are not going to go back through a zillion old Royce posts to get an understanding that most of those posts say pretty much the same thing.

Maybe it's time for YOU to sit back and contemplate two things - firstly that "less is more", and secondly that "shouting" at people will not make them listen any more carefully and generally the opposite is likely to be the result. And yes, MY capitals in this comment are intentional, and reference suggestions made to YOU by many people on this board a few years back.

And 40 years combined for you and your missus means you are solid survivors with this shit of a disease. However, a long duration of living with MS is not a guarantee of well researched quality knowledge - there are plenty of people who have lived with MS for decades but who know nothing much at all about it.

Then perhaps you should reconsider handing out potentially dangerous medical advice.
