[QUOTE="judi, post: 339978, member: 148"] I have been here a long time and as a nurse practitioner, I shudder when I see folks giving medical advice here. I have reported it to the moderators but as they say (and of course, its true): if you take advice from who knows who on a computer, you get what you pay for. That said, it is no one's interest to accept anything but general advice from ANY bulletin board. We could be anybody and anything. The only medical advice you should be considering seriously is that of your medical provider who knows the nuances of your child and your family's resources. I absolutely shudder when my patients bring in reams of paper of stuff they found on the internet. You need to sit back and consider the source. When most folks come here they are in crisis (I know I was back in 2001). What these boards are good for are a sounding board to bounce ideas off of, share experiences, hope and some positives. (Judi steps off her soapbox and breathes a sign of relief)! [/QUOTE]
