Vent Hucksters and influencer fakers on CRPS groups on FB
I use FB to keep up with friends and family. A couple of months ago someone suggested I try the various CRPS groups on FB as they can be quite supportive.
So I did.
OMG they are horrible. Every 6th post is some marketing huckster selling a cure all or it’s an influencer looking for likes. This one guy less than a month said he has CRPS then 2 weeks did a post about an uncle who cured through and then the corker - he did a post where he says he stumbled on the group seeking help for a family member who just found out that they have it. On that post he acts like he’s never heard of CRPS before. The photos he includes , which I did image searches on, come from other people’s posts. And the admins do not care.
I don’t know if it’s that Reddit’s culture has fewer bull shitters or the admins on this subreddit being diligent- I just want to say Thank You. You keep me sane.
