• Information obtained from these groups are no substitute for consultation with your physician. You may want to print out what you read and discuss with your physician.
• You may receive a lot of emails from large and active support groups. It might be good idea to have a separate e-mail account to handle messages from e-mail support groups. Or else, make sure you know how to handle large amounts of email through email filter or other devices.
• Keep in mind that anyone can join an e-mail list and post messages. Exercise caution in reading them.
• Do not use your real name to protect privacy.
• Be aware that your e-mail address will be available to others on the list.
