@gdf, I appreciate your willingness to share your cell phone number. Because Mayo Clinic Connect is a public forum, the community guidelines (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/tab/community-guidelines/) recommend using the secure private message to exchange personal contact information.

Having said that, I’d like to underline the benefit of sharing in the group discussions. By posting in the discussions in the Neuropathy support group many members, including people who do not post, benefit from from your knowledge and experience and others can chime in as well.

@isthisneurological, you can receive private messages. You will be able to send private messages in a few days. There is a brief period where new members can't post links. We do this to deter spammers from spamming members through private messages and to keep the community safe.
