Subreddit Rules
- Personal attack / Being a dick: Please don't be a dick. We're a supportive community, so even if you don't necessarily agree with someone's point of view, please say so politely and don't attack the OPs personally.
- This includes commenting with inflammatory remarks meant to stir controversy. Low stress is extremely important to people sick with Lyme and we want to avoid arguments that might cause an elevated stress response.
- Personal information: Do not post any personal information. This is for your own safety as well as the safety of the other group members.
- Respect & Support
- Lyme Negativity: Any posts denying the validity of chronic Lyme or co-infections will result in a ban. This includes:
- 1. Posting articles from propaganda sources like Lymescience.org 2. Engaging in negative posting about people suffering from Lyme. 3. Posting negatively about Lyme doctors, alternative testing (IGENEX/Vibrant) or alternative treatments being “pseudoscience”. 4. General negativity around lyme.
- Invalidating Personal Experiences : We will not tolerate invalidating someone’s personal experience with comments like “show me scientific evidence that treatment works”. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Chronic Lyme treatments have not been studied nearly enough, so patients must rely on anecdotal evidence and personal success stories.
- These stories are critical to those in the Lyme community who have been left to their own devices by a medical system that has failed them.
- Generalizing LLMDs: While personal stories of bad LLMDs (Lyme Literate Medical Doctors) are fine and encouraged (so people know who to avoid) turning this into a general statement of how the whole industry is a scam is not allowed.
- LLMDs are not perfect and many will not have all the tools to get you well. This is not because they are scamming you. It’s because this disease is very complex and not everyone responds the same way to treatments. Trial and error with multiple failures is common.
- Good Faith Posting (no provocation): Posts must be made in good faith and intended to support others or seek help - not to provoke, inflame, or stir controversy. Any post made primarily to provoke outrage, or start arguments about controversial lyme topics, rather than provide meaningful conversation may be removed at moderator discretion.
- Fundraiser: Please do not post links to fundraisers. We know that you care about your friend, but you're posting in a forum of people going through the exact same thing with the exact same financial troubles. You're not going to get donations from people struggling with paying for their own medical treatment.
- No selling: There is no selling of supplements (or affiliate links) or pushing your own practice in this sub. Taking advantage of sick people is quite honestly one of the most disgusting things one can do and it will not be tolerated here.
