The proposed group would be intended for discussions about different
aspects of arthritis and related autoimmune disorders, such as lupus
and
scleroderma, mainly from the patient's point of view. Medical
discussions are supposed to be informational only, not intended for a
substitute of consulting a properly trained medical practitioner.
Anyone with an interest in arthritis is free to post, including but
not
limited to patients, their friends and family members, doctors, and
other medical professionals dealing with different forms of arthritis.
The following are examples of intended topics:
- symptoms and causes of different forms of arthritis
- treatments, both conventional and alternative
- arthritis-related practical problems and ways to overcome them
- social issues relevant to arthritis patients
- emotional support
- different resources available to people with arthritis
Scientific discussions that are likely to interest arthritis patients
in
general are welcome on misc.health.arthritis, even if cross-posted to
sci.med.immunology.
Commercial advertisements may NOT be posted to the proposed group."
How about posting this every few days? It would help sort out the
uneducated advertisers from the deliberate rule breaking ones. Just a
thought. You got your way though-- You punished me for my ignorance
and I lost my yahoo account, but at least I won't ever make that
mistake again. Good luck all and I pray your pain from the arthritis
is alleviated.
