A person goes to a bicycling forum to get information about similar cases that the person is experiencing. Then they are better informed/prepare to discuss things with their doctor. They are NOT replacing their doctor with forum advice; they're augmenting it.
That's what I did when I asked about blood pressure medications an lowered heat tolerance.
