I just read a post in my asthma community, that if you google your profile name (ie: htag profile on dailystrength) your whole profile is open to the public! I just tried it because I couldn't believe it myself! SOOO, I just deleted a ton of my journal entries and pictures. I was angry that my life's pain could be an open book to others. Just letting you all know.

Yeah awhile back someone posted the same concern. We sent our concerns to Doug. You can make your journal "friends only" this way it is not open for the public. After pointing out the concern to Doug many members changed their screen names to things that were less identifiable. I guess there is very little that can be done---I mean this whole forum is open to everyone so I guess it is just one con to a great site.

how do you change your profile name without losing all of your friends on your list or starting over? I tried to figure it out and couldn't.

I am not sure but you can message Doug and ask him or maybe someone who did it will reply.

I cant believe that you can see that on the internet. That makes me pretty upset

This was brought up before and a lot of people did change their stuff. Unless you use your name as your screen name, the chances of it being an issue are slim. As kyspier said, this is a public forum so the info is open.

Wow this is crazy! What is the point of locking your account from people who aren't your friends. WOW...

By golly, you're right! I'm angry too! No journal entries in my profile but still lot of info. Thanks for this alert
deleted_user
Lock your journals and also don't use your real name. Doug can help you change your name. Pick the name you want and he will do it. I think he said this how they promote the site so. IDK good luck.

I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
