1) Be sure to check out our "health pages" which can be found at the top right of this page. In the health pages area, members are encouraged to read, and/or add information pertaining to all parts of gastroenterology.
2) Please JOIN the community. Once you have had a chance to look around, you can create a profile and tell us a little about yourself. Your profile can be as simple or as complex as you like. In any event, you will meet people from around the globe! You will have the opportunity to learn from others who share your concerns.
3) Consider posting on a current thread or starting one of your own.
4) Get acquainted with other members. There are several ways to “Add a Friend” but one of the easiest is to scroll over the member’s name and click on “Add a Friend”.
5) Consider keeping a journal. Your journal can be private, public, or available only to those people you have added as a friend. Journals are a great way to share your story, frustrations, experiences, history, etc. You will probably find there are others who can relate to your story.
6) Want to speak privately to another member? Send a private message (PM) by scrolling over the member’s name and clicking on “Send Message”.
7) Only have a minute and want to welcome a member, or send good luck wishes? Scroll over the member’s name and click on “Send a Note.” Unlike PMs, everyone can view “Notes”.
8) Once you’ve created a profile, click on “My MedHelp” (located on the top navigation bar to the right of your screen). Check out the many great features: settings, trackers, notes, message, photos. Our GI Tracker is terrific and easy to use!
