    Hi @Nikki1070 and a warm welcome to the community from me!

    Thank you for telling us a little bit about yourself, it's lovely to have you here and I hope you enjoy your time on the community😊

    A new diagnosis can take a while to process and it's really common to feel like you are finding yourself again, were you offered any post diagnosis support?

    Thank you Mary

    I went to one clinic session to confirm diagnosis but it's more read and find out yourself x

    Hi @Nikki1070, I'm sorry they weren't helpful at the clinic. You might already know about it but I found this organisation which might be useful for you https://www.fndaction.org.uk/ . There are lots of wheelchairs users here who could share their experiences and help you adjust. I've just updated the title of your post so hopefully our members will start to reply. Is there anything you're finding particularly challenging in using your wheelchair?
