hello @sfowler
To reference someone direct add an @ in front of their username like I just did.

It would help us respond appropriately if you could let us know how long you've been diagnosed, what meds you are on, if any, and your latest results... but only if you are happy to do so.

Do you have any questions to start with?
There plenty of topics/threads on here to browse through
