I try to cover a pretty wide range on this blog, and my categories are a bit silly/unhelpful (in case you hadn’t noticed). I’ve also been at it for a surprisingly long time now (almost as long as I’ve been diagnosed!), so even I’m starting to lose track of where everything is.
What follows is an attempt to put it all into some kind of meaningful order. If you still can’t find what you’re looking for, scroll all the way to the bottom, where you’ll find a helpful search bar.
