I was going to post in another thread but it has closed,so.....my experience from 5yrs here.
#1 Firstly we need this forum,it stops the undiagnosed posting all over the place...the lesser evil.
#2 If you dont like reading posts here or it causes negative feelings then please avoid.
#3a you can usually get a feeling if a person has genuine issues or is just stressing so please think.
#3b If you do reply but its obvious a poster is stressing then stop replying to them.
#4 There are some who post here who do end up getting a diagnosis of als....very few i know but keep this in mind when distinguishing genuine cases.
#5 you are not obliged to post replies but it does tame the herd of DIHALS'ers we get each week.
I spent a few years replying but now mostly retired,i do look in to see if theres anyone in genuine need.....like grgizi121 who first posted here about her husband,obviously a genuine case.
I commend any pal/cal who try to help here....we have enough problems of our own.
So its simple,dont get stressed about this part of forum........theres no need to.
