@jatonlouise, technical issues can be frustrating. You can make the font larger. How to make the font larger depends on the type of device you are using to access Mayo Clinic Connect, e.g., phone, table or computer.
I'm sorry to hear that you sometimes lose a message before it is complete. Your messages are not too long and there is no time limit. I wonder if you might be hitting another tab or window inadvertently which causes the message to be lost. Other members have shared that when they have a detailed, thoughtful message, they will first write them in a Word document or in Notepad and then paste the message into the discussion.
Anyone having technical issues, can get additional help by sending a message here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/help-center/#get-technical-support

I've reached the same conclusion - write it in Word and cut and paste it
into the post. Plus I have a friend who volunteers for a PD Support group
in Waco TX and I can recycle my pearls of wisdom . 😉 For her, i've been
focusing primarily on pump- related info (although the prospects don't seem
as good as they are in Germany. My insurance covers my meds for the pump -
$6,000/month- 100% but given the battles I've had with my health insurance
to get them to pay my $100 for my son to have his teeth cleaned or have
them pay for my hearing aide in accordance with the policy, I don't have
very high hopes that they'll be any less recalcitrant certainly given
today's climate. Sigh

Stay sane and have a lively day!
