Welcome new members, to this club none of us thought we'd ever join.
Remember that any question is acceptable here, we've all been there so know things will be on your mind - don't go to bed without reaching out as a 'problem shared is a problem halved' and you will rest better having got it off your chest.
This weekly update reminds us all how many people, both ladies and men, are diagnosed on a regular basis - people whose lives are turned upside down when we least expect it.
If you put your location next to your name in the profile, members who are close to you can recommend services nearby and maybe even catch up for a cuppa if that will help you get through.1 -
Thanks for the welcome.

Still working my way around this online forum, seems to be lots of conversations of interest that are quite old.
