Hello Everyone!
In case you haven’t been to the cholinergic urticaria forum lately, I have made several changes. I thought I would go over a few of the changes quickly:
1. I have added several new board topics. This is an effort to organize the forum to make it a little easier to keep up with certain topics. I have been planning this for a while, and finally got around to it. Rest assured that all posts are still intact. I have simply moved them to the category I felt they fit in best to make it easier for searching and posting the topic of your interest.
2. I added a few “rules” under the first board. Basically they can be summarized as: Don’t spam, Don’t post medical advice or dosages, Don’t be rude or harass people, and Don’t post copyrighted content. The reason for the “rules” is not to be on an “ego” trip or anything like that.
Instead, it is simply me trying to protect against harm, and also to keep in compliance with 3rd party program policies and terms and conditions that I participate in with the website. It is really nothing big, and basically everyone that posts regularly always follows those rules anyways.
3. I will also be adding a couple more changes over the next few days. Nothing significant, but just a few changes so please don’t freak out when you go there and notice some things have changed.
Also, there was an incident a while back where I deleted a post because someone had recommended certain medicines, they gave dosage recommendations, and also gave a link on where to buy it. I had to remove it. There are just too many things that could happen with those sorts of situations. Someone could take that and die, and I personally don’t want that kind of responsibility on me. I have to delete those sorts of things, simply because I am the one who is the most responsible for that if someone got hurt.
I didn’t mean it in a rude way at all, but the person was upset. For that- I am sorry because I feel like they misunderstood what I was doing and took it the wrong way. But at the same time I HAVE to regulate those sorts of things for the safety of everyone. This is a public forum, and people can stumble on it from the web of all ages. There are not just adults that visit the forum, and I feel like I have to act responsibly to ensure everyone understands that we aren’t doctors and to see a qualified doctor for medications.
As far as my hives, they are still being a little better. I am not quite as reactive as I was a while back, however, certain things still cause a reaction. For example, today I ate some beans, rice, chicken, and some salsa on top. The salsa wasn’t that hot, but I almost immediately started getting little prickly sensations on my cheeks and nose. It wasn’t terrible, and I cooled down and everything was fine. Other than that everything has been well.
Tomorrow is supposed to be the coldest day of the season so far…bbbrrr. So I will try and bundle up and stay warm. I can’t wait until summer and warmer weather gets here. I honestly feel like I will be able to eliminate my hives (at least for the summer months). So I am looking forward to living life normally again.
Well it is almost time for American Idol to come on, and my wife is wanting me to go watch it with her. So I am going to call it a night. I get to go watch Simon Cowell go be mean to people lol.
