I think we should gatekeep a bit more.

Hear me out. The FDA and customs are considering putting more restrictions, and if there was less chaos in our government systems due to… current management, they probably already would have. Various sites are making certain things harder to access, and are implementing gatekeeping practices because we can’t seem to be smart enough to do so.

I am not saying don’t tell anyone things. I am just saying don’t broadcast “hey you should do you own tox and fillers!”. When someone comes on and posts something like “I am new to this please tell me detailed instructions of how to get started and where to buy!” Or “ how are you all finding places to get Botox without a license? I can’t find anything”

Or “it’s so crazy you all are using these black market probably fake dangerous substances you buy from random people on the internet!”

Don’t correct them! Be like “wow you’re right I’m just so crazy and brave you totally shouldn’t be as stupid and reckless as I am 🤪”

I am not saying don’t help people, but you don’t have to correct those people and be like “hey no, this is exactly how and where we get around these restrictions!” Why tell someone who doesn’t need this info who has that opinion on DIY? Those are the type of people who lead make it harder for us to do this.

Telling someone who is incapable of just doing the basic research to know where to purchase or where to “start” is DANGEROUS! And their dumb mistakes because they are incapable or too lazy to research will end up getting this stuff banned for all of us.

Here’s what I suggest and what many people do, but we should ALL be doing. When people make those sort of comments ignore them. If someone DMs you, share away. Don’t post that stuff publicly. You spreading this info is not saving lives, it is not important information to share with the masses, quite the opposite.

My husband is +51 days from us SCT and still has diarrhea, should we be concerned?

Sorry but his medical team has proven to not be really on top of being concerned with certain symptoms and reporting them to the appropriate doctors. It’s partially my husband’s non chalant attitude when mentioning these symptoms, but repeatedly I have read things on this group, asked him if he told someone and he says yes, then when I go tell his doctors that I would like some reassurance because I read something that xyz can be bad, they often will be surprised at this information and glad I brought it to their attention. So I feel like I have to check behind whatever he is hearing on this group lol.

He has been going to the hospital twice a week since he got out of the hospital, but he sees a doctor for like 5 mins every two weeks (where I’m sure if I’m not there he says “yeah I’m fine just tired) but I hear him reporting symptoms, at least that I tell him, to the nurses. But he says they just take his vitals and sometimes give him magnesium or fluids.

When he was on venteclax, and had to go in for the shots, the nurses administering them had no idea about leukemia specifically or anything. And they were busy and if he told them a symptom it almost never made it back to his actual doctor’s records.
