Hello Pat @trishj46, Thank you for the private message. I will try and answer it here in reply to your last post in the "Feeling at my wits end with Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia" discussion so hopefully it makes more sense to you.

You mentioned in your private message that you are not receiving any responses from people. I think the problem maybe that they are not seeing your posts to them because you are not addressing your post to a specific member using their member name, for example to send a question or response that you want me to send you would use @johnbishop to make sure I receive an email notification for your post and can respond.

I think your last post was to @lioness about how she bookmarked the Connect website. So I will try to answer your question again. You may want to write the steps down or just follow the links to see if you are able to bookmark the Connect site.

1. Go to the Connect website - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/
2. Depending on which web browser program you are using on your computer, follow the instructions here:

Once you have saved a bookmark or favorite (depending on your web browser program), you can easily click on it to return to the Connect website.

I think part of your frustration is that you are not receiving responses and I can understand that and know it's even worse when you are in pain. Are you able to tell me how you read your emails? What type of devices are you using - a computer, a cellphone or tablet? A computer is by far the easiest but I'm sure we can help you if we know the type of device you are using. There are other members on Connect who i'm sure use all of the different types of devices.

Hope this helps....

@johnbishop Although your post was for @trishj46, I have no doubt you helped others , too! Thank you for assisting those of us who are not technically inclined. I certainly count myself in that group! Back in the late 60s-early 70s, the Army gave high schoolers a battery of interest/proclivity tests. Apparently I scored really high in technical, and they wanted me to join up with them. They couldn't draft me. My father was so disappointed when I said "no" to their plans to put me in computers.
