A community for chronically ill people.
Rules
- Be excellent to each other
- Absolutely no ableism, although good faith questions that take an ableist stance will be left up pending moderator discretion.
- No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.

MODERATORS
People don’t usually have the same doctor for their whole life. So no matter how long you have been living with an illness, you do find yourself seeing people you have never met before and sometimes having weird experiences just through probability. No one is “symptom shopping” here, we’re just describing a common experience, which is that it’s a bit jarring when you have a health problem and the doctor you go to see for it doesn’t know how to help you with it.
