Community guidelines
We are here to support each other. These rules keep it safe.
- Be kind. No harassment, insults, discrimination or bullying. Everyone's CRPS journey is different.
- Keep language clean. No swearing or foul language anywhere: usernames, bios, posts, replies or photo descriptions.
- No politics. We don't discuss politicians, parties, elections or campaigning, in any country. This keeps the community welcoming to everyone living with CRPS, whatever they believe.
- One name each. Every member has a single, unique username. Copying or closely imitating someone else's name is not allowed.
- Share experience, not medical advice. Say what worked for you, not what someone else must do. Never tell anyone to stop or change prescribed treatment.
- No miracle cures or selling. No advertising, spam, affiliate links, or unproven "cures".
- Protect privacy. Don't share sensitive details — your own or anyone else's — such as home addresses, phone numbers or financial information. Don't repost other members' stories elsewhere.
- Handle difficult topics with care. If you are struggling or having thoughts of self-harm, please reach out to a crisis service. Moderators may remove posts that describe methods of self-harm, and may share support information.
- Respect each other's stories. Listen first. Don't dismiss, compare or argue about someone's pain.
- Report problems. Use the Report link on any post. Moderators are volunteers, so please be patient.
Moderators may edit, hide or remove content, and suspend accounts that break these guidelines.
