Be a greeter: Welcome members when they make their first post

Mar 19, 2024 | Colleen Young, Connect Director | @colleenyoung | Comments (4)

Group of people saying hi

We rolled out a new Notification Setting that allows you to receive an email notification or an onsite notification when a member makes their first post.

This feature is optional. You can turn on the setting (and off) in Your Settings.

Here's how to be a greeter

  1. Go to My Profile.
  2. Click Settings below your profile picture.
  3. Scroll to Notifications and Preferences.
  4. Select First Posts by Members.
  5. Choose how you want to be notified when someone makes their first post on Mayo Clinic Connect.
  6. Click Update.

Great! Now you will get a notification when members post for the first time in the support group(s) you follow.

Recognize first post notifications onsite by this symbol.

Welcome first time posters. Ask them a question. Make them feel like they've come to the right place to support, answers, and connection.

Get more tips in the Help Center.

People who have been diagnosed with DIPNECH. I HAVE A QUESTION.
Have you ever lived in a house that had a basement.
The reason I ask is....my house had a basement, we also had RADON. I lived there for 20 years.
From what I understand...the Dr's do not no what causes DIPNECH. Then in the same breath would say....oh no Radon does not cause DIPNECH.
Well do they Really know.
That's why I am asking all of you who have been diagnosed with DIPNECH if you lived in a home with a basement and perhaps did not know if it had Radon. So if you lived in a home with a basement or not could you let me know. I am very curious and I am trying to find the cause of the so called Rare Disease.
I'm 67 non-smoker. Did smoke off and on when I was a teen.
I would like to compare life styles with others and try to figure this out.
Please, let's help each other.
Thanks

Welcome to Connect, I am not familiar with DIPNECH. so can not comment on your questions but you might want to post this question in the Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) group, there has been discussion in that group about DIPNECH.

Another option is use the search function in Connect to find other discussion about DIPNECH.

Hey my name is Sherry. Few months ago I have inflammation that start with my gums. They put me on different antibiotics and steroids that cause oral thrush. Then I started have sinus and eye problems. But the doctors weren't founding anything but oral thrush and dry eyes. My glands in my neck are large. The oral thrush is now just on back of my tongue. I am prediabete and have iron problem. Change my eating and drink habits. I have lost weight. But my eyes are getting worse and my throat is some getting better. I am scared because the doctors keep pushing me out for month. I don't go back throat doctor tell June 30 for Contrast Iv scan and then I see him right after. Eye doctor wants put on antibiotics but he can't because of thrush. I wish someone could tell me something or do something fast.
