[TIP] How to Use Connect: Step-by-step Instructions

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:

Hi @jakedduck1,

Thank you Kanaazpereira but it still doesn’t show me the percentage like it use to. Last time it popped up my profile was 66% complete. Is it at 100% complete now and no longer shows??? I believe I filled out everything but mentioned I needed a pic even though I already have one (even though it points to the left.) Colleen said would fix it. Also is there a problem with the updates, when I hit the button it takes me to a page that says “No updates” now I have to try and decider which are new, very time consuming and extremely frustrating!!!

Since there are so many functions related to the Liver and many ailments wouldn’t it be worthwhile to have a section on the Liver itself that encompasses its functions and various diseases and malfunctions???
Just my 2 cents worth

Hi @jakedduck1,

I see what you mean. Once you are on your "Profile" page, all you have to do is click on the "Autobiographer" button under "Badges." That will tell you the percentage, and what you need to do to complete your Profile.

Here's what you will see when you click on the "Autobiographer" badge:
