Forum Terms of Use
By using the IIH Support web site, you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the "Terms of Use"). The IIH Support Forum is designed for educational purposes only and not to provide medical advice. IIH Support is a privately owned web site, run and administered by IIH sufferers, for IIH sufferers. We are not medical professionals, but wish to provide an informative and friendly environment to learn about IIH and provide support for others with IIH.
Each case of IIH is different, just as each patient is different. Forum members may have additional conditions to IIH, and take a number of medications, and diagnosis and treatment of IIH can only be made by a qualified medical practitioner. The information presented on the IIH Support forum and website is not intended to replace the guidance of your doctor, and it is important to see your doctor before altering anything in your treatment.
IIH Support does not endorse any medications, products, equipment or treatments for IIH. The views expressed in the forum are entirely those of the author and do not represent those of IIH Support. IIH Support is not responsible or liable for any damages, which may occur as a result of your use or misuse of the information available on this web site.
Links to external sources of information on IIH on other websites may be provided on the IIH Support forum and website. IIH Support has no control over content on such pages, and is not responsible for their content or accuracy. Such links are provided for educational purposes only.
The aim of this site is to provide a safe place for people to seek help and advice, free from harassment, and to create an environment for people to share their views and treatments that may have helped them live with IIH. If it is felt that any message within the forum contravenes these ideals they will be deleted without question and the offender will be banned. Traditionally the forum has always been easy–going and being a health related forum we tend to allow members a little more leeway with what can and can't be done than usually happens on most online forums, with only occasional "guidelines" posts from the Site Administrators. Most members are well behaved, do respect other members, and display good netiquette, but there are times when there may be confusion about what is and isn't acceptable, and to avoid any confusion therefore, we've decided to lay out the rules of the forum so the rules are clear to everyone. The forum rules are available as both a forum announcement, and on the forum rules page.
