On the board once before we had people list the "well-meaning" advice that is given. Some of them were hilarious
I've been told to sleep with a bar of soap in my bed to prevent muscle cramps. Eat gin soaked raisins. A well meaning girl that worked out at the gym that I went to told me that she had been diagnosed with RA several years ago and she cured it by "Working out 4 hours a day everyday" She honestly thought that if I just worked out hard and lifted heavy weights my problems would be resolved. Hope to hear your crazy advice
I've also been told that my mindset caused my problems... I should "release my negative energies". Don't well meaning people make you want to scream?! Chloe
I was also told that aspertame caused my illness and that if I would quit drinking diet cokes I would be healed -
I WISH!!!! I was told to stop taking my meds, that what was causing me to be ill. That I could cure all my problems by just telling myself to stop being sick, that it was all in my mind!!!![QUOTE=meme]
