The second Rheumy I ever consulted for help told me to stay away from
red meat and milk.  He got quite aggitated when I returned for my next
appointment and said that I had not eliminated them from my diet.

Of course this is the same doctor who told me maybe I need to pray more
to get better and that whenever I did happen to have a good day that it
was a direct result of prayer and nothing more.

I didn't return to that doctor, especially after he told me I need to
read proverbs to find out what it truly means to be a woman of purity.

People everywhere (sometimes even ones with the initials M.D. after
their names_) will offer out unsolicited, unfounded, and scientifically
unproven advice and methods of treatment.

I agree with you about the particular person on this board.  I have
tried other support group forums that require registration and have
full moderation, but I don't really find them as beneficial as this
one, so I guess I will keep coming back and do what I can to ignore THE
oddball.
