I agree, Maryse, but there are probably restrictions on patients "treating'" themselves. You know how you are always supposed to "check with your doctor". I would be dead if I had done that. While I respect them when they know what they're doing, most have no idea what we experience. If I could infiltrate the seminars and learn what to do I wouldn't hesitate. It is our lives. Some patients are very passive and seem to enjoy being ignorant or cared-for to their own detriment. But then again maybe they are better off than me. I don't know.
