    Hi @jayramphal, thanks for replying :) 

    I have to say I've not heard of leukodystrophy in the past, I hope you are getting along okay with both of those things. 

    You might find some helpful discussions over in our talk about specific conditions section, and you may also find others who have similar experiences to you. 

    If you ever need any help navigating the community don't hesitate to ask.
