We are not doctors & please don't post confidential docs

[Fran_Benson]

Dear members of our forum, this is a reminder that we the staff at PMRGCAuk, the volunteers on this forum and the members, are not doctors/rheumatologists. Most people are simply patients with varying degrees of knowledge and experience of the conditions of PMR and GCA.

It is important to remember that content on HealthUnlocked does not replace the relationship between you and your doctors or other healthcare professionals nor the advice you receive from them.

Never delay seeking advice or dialling emergency services because of something that you have read on HealthUnlocked.

I would also ask you not to reproduce confidential data provided to you by your doctors. It's ok to provide information in your post, eg about your ESR or CRP levels if it's relevant to your question but not the photos of the documents themselves.

Regards

Fran
