You're playing with people's lives when you give them medical advice without being qualified to do so.

If you trust a stranger's anecdotes on the Internet over your doctor (or even your own massively undereducated and biased interpretation of the situation), you are a fool, full stop. Unfortunately, sometimes the very disease you have causes you to make foolish decisions.

The only sane answer here is to get help from another medical professional. Any other option is exceedingly stupid.

You didn't even read what I wrote: "Regardless, I think it's important for people to trust their own judgement, and weigh anecdotal experiences and advice from regular people, with the understanding that all advice comes from a certain context."

Yes, that advice is both wrong and wildly irresponsible to give.
