Guidelines for My Community
You are free to read the messages in My Community, but you must register if you'd like to post a message. If you haven't registered yet and would like to, click here.

We want My Community to be a safe, welcoming, and supportive place, and, with that in mind, we ask that you consider the following guidelines when participating.

Be Friendly and Welcoming
We are all here to help each other. Welcome new members the way you would like to be welcomed if you were new to the community.

Language
Please refrain from using vulgar, abusive, hateful, harassing, or threatening, language. If you use such language, you will be blocked from the community.

Medical Advice
This community allows you to share experiences and offer support and encouragement to others. Although someone's situation might be similar to yours, everyone's situation is unique, and you should not, under any circumstances, give medical advice to anyone.

Physician and Health Care Names
Specific references to physician and/or health care names are not allowed. It is not our intent to bash or promote individuals or companies but to learn how to work with our physicians and other health care providers. Please say "my doctor" or "a health care company."

Disclaimer
Opinions. The opinions provided by users are their own and not necessarily those of the NPF.

Moderators. The NPF moderators and those acting on behalf of the NPF have the right to edit and delete any posts that contain content that does not follow the guidelines listed above. The NPF also has the right to remove and/or ban any user who does not follow the guidelines. While the Moderator may, from time to time, correct or delete posts with obviously incorrect information, you may not assume that this is done in every case, nor may you rely on any post for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
