Consultants 'opinion' preventing valid treatment

As I understand it this is a forum for all bowel complaints as I googled for that specifically and this is what came up.  Regards PMR or GCA, you will have to spell them out as I cannot recognise from purely the initials you use what these complaints are as I haven't come across them before.  My point about the Consultant is she literally put me on trial for arguing with her over steroid use and I didn't feel it was fair, the health of the patient, in this case me, should be the only priority and as a forum I felt fit to air what had happened publicly, I cannot see any problem with this, surely comments from the public concern all areas of health?

Also, in addition, my point was the steroids were the only thing that had actually alleviated a very incapacitating condition and she had no right to argue with the doctor, having known me literally five minutes and yet my doctor I have known for over three years.

If you scroll to the top of the page (at least the page I have in front of me on my computer) you will see Home > Discussion Forums > Bones. joints and muscles > Polymyalgia rheumatica and GCA.

It has happened a few times recently that posts that are not in this area have come up - but before reporting it to be moved to the right place I thought I'd check. However- the last line of my response still applies. 

This obviously needs looking into as I googled 'forum for steroid use in bowel complaints' and a specific link to this site came up.

Actually I am tearfully upset as the only other site I could find to do with bowels had completely and utterly illegible 'captcha codes' and I feel it was a total diservice to the public to make them that illegible, i have tried 20 of these illegible, truly, codes and i DON'T know what they can possible be thinking of, where is a proper site with a forum that deals with bowels that does not have these handicaps?

If you go to the bottom of the page here and click on report you will be able to send a message to the moderator. Explain that you need your discussion to be diverted to the correct forum for "bowel problems" and hopefully they will be able to help you.

Thank you Tavidu, I have now found the correct page, sorry it took me a while!

At the right hand side of this page, about level with your original question, you will see a box that says "Search thousands of discussions" with a search box, above "Start a new discussion".

If you type bowel problems or something like that in that box and click the search symbol it will take you to a list of appropriate threads you can follow and start a new discussion there. There are no codes or anything - it stays within this main site. 

The main reason for those codes are to deter spam which can be a terrible problem. A real person will be able to match them (usually at least, I know, some are almost illegible) but the automated spammers can't. 

But you WILL find the right place here - and I have reported your post to a moderator who will be able to put it somewhere suitable but it might take a while since it is the weekend. Then people who use the bowels forums regularly will see it and respond to you.

They are working on the site (supposedly making it new and improved) and it does make things a bit hiccuppy at times so be patient. And when you search a long subject into google it takes the words that appear most - it will have been steroids it picked up on.

However - try following this link

https://patient.info/search.asp?searchterm=bowel+IBS&searchcoll=Discuss_Forums

which is within this site so I can post it and you will get it sooner! I hope it works and gives you the right sort of responses. Good luck!

I must have been typing at the same time as Tavidu!!

And me!!!!!! But you obviously thought of giving a link quicker than I did 

LOL! We were all responding at the same time! At least Fiona knows we are all trying to help. (We are such nice people on here aren't we)?!!!

Probably the pred that does it!
