@alineechelard, This discussion was created under the Chronic Pain Support Group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/pain/). There are no specific support groups in Connect that offer an option that allows you to talk to people. Members can share contact information using the Private Message function of Connect which would allow them to contact each other if that is agreeable to both parties. The Help Center has more information on Connect "how to" tasks - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/help-center/.

There is much benefit in being able to meet in person or live online (Zoom, etc.). I was able to do that with the Minnesota Neuropathy Association until it disbanded 4+ years ago. The value of Connect and sharing in the discussions with other members is that members all over the world can read your experiences and share what has helped them and vice versa.
