Hi Charlie,
I encourage you to follow the Lung Health group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/lung-conditions/ and introduce yourself to members there.

Thanks, I will try that.

I still could not figure out how to start a new group. Only how to find existing groups. I want to start a group about hyponatremia.

Hi @kibwezi
You can start a new discussion about Hyponatremia in the Endocrine System group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/diabetes-and-endocrine-problems/

We have several members talking about hyponatremia and it would be good to bring them all together in one discussion. As the activity and membership of that discussion grows, we will be able to open a dedicated group.

Thank you!

Hi Liz @liz223

I wasn't sure if anyone had responded to your question about finding sciatica discussions. There are many people who have posted about sciatica.

If you go up to the top of your screen you will see a search Icon (it looks like a magnifying glass),click on the icon and then a box will appear, then type in the word "sciatica" in the box, then hit "enter" and all of the posts that mention sciatica will come up and you can look at each one.

When I did that I saw sciatica listed under Chronic Pain, as well as Scoliosis, etc. You can then reply and respond to all of the posts.
Here is the link to the search, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=sciatica

Are there any groups on the GUT only?
Specifically DIARRHEA , BLOATING, severe STOMACH PAIN???

@rinstaffordaz , you were correct in posting in the Digestive Health group about gut issues, such as diarrhea and bloating. Here are a few discussions to take part in:
- Gut problems https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/gut-problems/
- I am a relatively healthy person with a problem "bloated belly" https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/i-am-a-relatively-healthy-person-with-a-problem-bloated-belly-my/

I hope you'll also register for the online expert Video Q&A about Scleroderma on November 15. See more details here:

The fact that people list ailments in various places makes it difficult if not impossible for the average person to locate all the information available for a particular ailment. At least I wouldn’t think to look in so many different places.
