    Hi Trevor! I hope you had a good time over the holidays and happy new year. Hello from California!

    I’m sorry to hear that you don’t have anyone around, I can help point you in the right directions with social media and stuff like Facebook support groups as well. I may not be able to help you physically but hopefully I can help connect you to others who share a similar situation.

    This is very interesting to me. Were you at all symptomatic before 51?
