Just wanted to say hi to you too and believe it or not, I'm also in (not so sunny) Qld.

My two children are in their 20's now. All grown up and doing fine generally. Things have changed so much regarding doctor's knowledge here in Australia in the past 20 years. It was all so difficult back then. I travelled to the US and Canada and went to meetings and conferences and met the most amazing people and I learned so much from friends in online TS communities. That was about 15 years ago now. There is so much more information available here in Australia these days. That can only help.

Good to see you posting.
