Welcome home Brindlefellow Canadian!
Oh my goodness...what a dilemma! Do you live relatively CLOSE to a larger community....your doctor could refer you to an Endo there, might solve some of the mystery! They can't just shut the door on you!!!
This is a great place to share, to learn, and to grow...all the while meeting new people world wide, and making friends.
Take a peek at some the groups when you get a chance. Just go to the top of your page, and click on "Groups". Once in,
click on "all groups". You can either peruse the wide array of available groups....or simply type a specific interest in the
space provided.
Take in some of the blogs/discussions as well.
The resource boxes at the top of the home "Home" page, and
"About us" at the very bottom of your page and every page (the footer), offer you more information still.

Hope you find the support and information you came looking for.
Here is a useful link to get you on your way:
