Did you press ‘send’ too quickly Hetty?

What is your question?

Sorry hetty that you have had to join us. There seems to be a lot of newbies this last week so your not on your own on this new adventure that is RD. This site has been invaluable to me everyone understands and is willing to give advice. It’s not all doom and gloom a lot of people live full lives once the medication is sorted unfortunately one does not cure all and it s is very much trial and error. Anything you need to know or be advised on people will be more than willing to help.

Been invaluable to me too! Don’t post very often, but check in every day lol! Always makes you realise, you’re not on your own, and there are people who understand!

Hiya Hetty, welcome. Sorry you have been diagnosed but I hope being here helps. If you'd like to share more please do feel free, others will be able to share theirs with you too if it helps. No question too daft, so I hope you'll feel able to let us know more about your experiences so far. 😊
