Hi @Dinkimandrake and welcome to the online community. It's lovely to have you here, and also great to know that people out there are pointing others in our direction. This is indeed the right place to be whether you are after support, advice or a listening ear, and we are always welcome of anyone willing to share their experiences so please do join in wherever you see fit!

I'm so glad you got a diagnosis eventually- we've all had a good ride on that merry-go-round and sometimes it feels like there's no chance of getting off! I am sure that you are well into your journey with your condition, but just as a starting point here is a link that may be of interest to you:
