"Allergies / Anaphylaxis"
http://www.wrightslaw.com/info/allergy.index.htmI think it's great he's putting together this page ... the only slight sadness I feel is that it seems a lot of people (not speaking about people who post here) & FA groups learn/benefit from FAS (& I could be wrong) but hardly ever acknowledge us or thank us ... not speaking of Wrightslaw specifically, but looking at that page made me think about this a bit.
For instance, this thread
504 index - 504 Plan Basicshas lots of views. Is it really just school admins cursing us
or are people taking in info that is helping them?
I see what we discuss here impacting the direction of some FA advocacy issues, but to many, we seem to be the group that "must not be named". I know our freedom to speak our minds comes with a price, I know it can be a little rough in here, I know we don't have a med advisor ... but I try to give people/groups credit when I learn something from them, even if I don't agree with everything they do or say, even if I don't officially endorse them, even if I don't especially like them.
Sometimes I wonder why I post so much, especially now that I don't need much FA support at this time. I really have some intrinsic passion for FA topics, I like helping people, it's intellectually interesting to me. I still feel that I am not quite finished saying what I feel needs saying ... I feel a certain push to finish certain things. Does what I do have a benefit to the FA community ... I don't know, but I hope so. Like many here, the time is coming soon for me to step back from this.
FWIW, I think that FAS is an amazing place.
