I read the call me names thread and the thread previous to it that turned ugly... I really dont like reading things like that. I know that no one on here intends to be mean and malicious.
Just a question I will put out there, but do you think that the forum should even continue with the "Is this ALS" thread? It seems to attract a lot of negativity. On occasion, I have read previous posts from this thread and the sad fact is, no one on here can really offer more information other than, talk to your doctor and if you dont like the answer, get a second opinion. I think everyone would like to help, but it is so difficult to diagnose, especially online, that even the most kind hearted and helpful member ends off coming off sounding cold and disinterested. I have read responses by those who asked about their symptoms, misunderstood the response and came back angry with an "I told you so" response. There doesnt seem to be a win response on this one.
What are your thoughts?
