@reeveshouse Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support.

August is a recent diagnosis and I'm assuming this is all new to you.

You will notice that I added your question to a previous discussion. I did this so you could connect with members like @dubuquer @munchie @bunkysmum78 @glendal @smugs59 @roberta125 @kimh @karinaph @dmsbronch in a central location.

If you haven't already done so, you may wish to scroll through the past posts to look for members that have experienced something similar.

May I ask if you have had a chance to explore other related discussions in this group? There are many that you will likely find helpful.
