Dear Anonymous,
Maggie is giving very sound medical advice. We have had many opposing
views on DepoProvera on this forum as well as a plethora of posts on the
Women's Health Forum. There are those that are very pro Depo as well as
con. Both are correct. I applaud Maggie for her attempts to help
educate people and she's been doing a good job from what I see. As far
as your personal comments, they are not called for and are not
warranted. Maggie's exuberance should not be spoiled because someone
disagrees with what she's been taught. An intellectual discussion is
fine but character attacks are unbecoming this forum.
