PBCers Chatroom Guidelines

• Although our chatroom is not moderated, a chatroom host is available to answer questions in scheduled chats.
• Please join chatroom with your Name and State initials or Country outside US (such as Mary-KY, JuneCa, Alice-Canada). This allows us to get to know one another. Changing nicknames in the chatroom causes confusion, so please refrain from doing this.
• We hope to maintain a friendly environment where we offer help, support and friendship to other PBCers, family  members or friends.
• Maintain communication of mutual respect, being polite and respectful to others as if you were chatting in person.
• Although our chatroom is mainly to discuss PBC, we also encourage other topics and having fun. Laughter can be the best medicine.
• PBCers and other chatters are not medical professionals.  Discussions are based on personal experiences and views.  
• Any questions, problems, or requests for assistance to gain access to the PBCers Chatroom, please email chathelp@pbcers.org.
