1 — Speak from your own experience. Share what happened to you, not what someone else should do. “This is what worked for me” is a different sentence from “do this”.
2 — No medical advice. Never suggest starting, stopping or changing a medication or dose. Point people back to their care team.
3 — Protect other people's privacy. No reports, photos or names of people who have not agreed to appear here.
4 — Fear is allowed. This is a place where you can say “I am frightened” without being told to stay positive.
5 — No promotion. No products, no treatments, no referral links. Supporters appear only in the places we have declared.
6 — Report rather than argue. Use the report button; a human moderator reads every one.
