A quick search for answers meant that I stumbled into the wacky world of anti-vax pet owners. And there are a lot of them, mostly in America

AREN'T algorithms clever? My social media is suggesting I might like to join the following groups, which paint a pretty sorry picture of my life, I must say.

First: would I like to become part of the Greater Trochanteric Bursitis Support community? Its holding picture is a skeleton with hips glowing red with pain. Nice. Now, my knees can be a bit achy of a morning and I am currently doing all my physio exercises like a wise woman for my recurring achilles issues. Which is to say, now and then, whenever I remember to do so. But my hips (or should I say Greater Trochanteric areas) seem mercifully free of Bursitis, whatever that is. So thanks but no thanks, I won't be looking there for like-minded online friends.
