    what is 'normal' ....

    Feeling unsupported

    Hi all, I hope you're all well (or as well as you can be). I'm new to this forum, and just been having a browse through. :) I hope you don't mind me joining and firing straight in with a moan post. I promise it's not my usual style. It occurred to me today though that I have nobody I can really...

    Medication Question - How Much Do You Take If Any
