Too many “doctors” have told me that I’m just whining and the Mayo Clinic is just some expensive place for privileged people and the reason I haven’t eaten for months is because I don’t want to.

This entire time I have said over and over that I didn’t want any medical advice. I have said that I only gave updates because people asked me to.

Frankly, I wanted to do one single rant and be done with it.

Now I’m sorry I ever said anything because people would rather harass me over it.

I really didn’t expect to be harassed on the day that I finally got some good news about my health. Thanks, Lemmy.

I’ll just stick to my normal communities where people don’t pretend to be doctors.

Edit: if you actually want to know how I’m doing and do not want to lecture me or tell me your theories or give me treatment suggestions, feel free to send a private message.

Hey man I’m coming to this late, and I’m sorry to hear you were getting harassed. That sucks anytime it happens, but it’s especially shitty when you’re going through such a rough and vulnerable time. I’m glad you had some good news about your health, though! Hang in there, I’m rooting for you.

I’ve only become aware of these updates today - not fully caught up with the details, but I wish you the best and hope for a positive outcome with everything going on.

It’s disappointing that some users can’t help but violate others’ boundaries and harass, especially on a topic as sensitive as healthcare.

Sharing a digital hug/handshake/best regards from me to you!

Mod jumping in. Sorry to have missed the reports, most of us were asleep when they happened.

Thank you for everyone who reported harassing comments. We are going to have a look now, and probably ban a few people.

See you around.
