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
And then you ask for help to apply for disability, but they say that you're only too sick to work because you are not engaging in healthcare, so they make your treatment plan goal "Get back to work".
And the "treatment" consists of seeing you every six months to a year and asking "are you feeling well enough to get back to work, then?"
