ParaNav community conversations work best when members share personal experience, protect privacy, and leave diagnosis and treatment decisions to each person's care team.
It is helpful to say what happened to you, what questions you asked, or how you prepared for care. Do not tell another member what diagnosis they have, what medication to take, or what treatment decision to make.
Lab values, imaging, symptoms, and medical history need a clinician who can see the full picture. You can help someone organize questions, but do not interpret their results as a diagnosis.
Do not post phone numbers, addresses, dates of birth, medical record numbers, insurance details, or screenshots that include identifying information. Remove names and locations before sharing outside records.
Clear details help more than broad claims. Explain what you mean, assume good intent, and avoid shaming someone for their symptoms, body, clinician, treatment choices, or level of knowledge.
Posts should support parathyroid, thyroid, kidney-related mineral disorders, surgery preparation, recovery, labs, symptoms, medications, tracking, and patient education.
Use reporting tools for harassment, spam, privacy exposure, misinformation, unsafe medical instructions, or anything that asks members to bypass their own care team.
ParaNav is for education and peer support. It does not replace your doctor, surgeon, nephrologist, endocrinologist, pharmacist, emergency department, or other licensed clinician.
If symptoms feel urgent, new, severe, or rapidly changing, do not wait for a community reply. Contact your care team, local urgent care, emergency services, or the emergency number in your area.
