  • insults aren’t illegal, and spam mail isn’t generally illegal either. as far as I know, there’s no law against sending an occasional email even if it is spam. the general exceptions are for commercial/businesses types and that’s generally only really illegal when it breaks the email carriers.

    besides which, the OP is talking about opening a ticket on Reddit’s customer service system, not actually sending an email. Spez won’t even see it.












  • Main point is: why not let a large number of people who heard about a condition from their own qualified doctors help you at least scribble down some questions to ask your own medical folks at your next appointment? (But please avoid those crystal suppositories.)

    Because:

    1. You have no way of verifying their anecdotes ever happened, that they were prescribed and on the medication
    2. no way of knowing other circumstances that affect medications, like drug interactions, or other unfortunate habits they might have had
    3. they have no knowledge of your underlying medical situation
    4. your doctor has 2 and 3, and should have access to studies in lieu of 1.
    5. Internet Randos are inherently untrustworthy.
    6. your doctor doesn’t get paid if you die.
