Hi @margarete
Welcome to the community! I hope you enjoy having a look around the posts and getting involved.
A good place to start might be the Disabled People category or for general chat the Coffee Lounge.
We can't give you any medical advice but we can offer lots of friendly support, it is important that you see your doctor to get a diagnosis and treatment plan in place.
Best of luck
