    PS - It looks like you registered the same diagnosis a few times. If you did this by accident no worries, you are not the first to do this. You can delete the duplicate diagnoses by clicking on the "Add Experience" link to the right of your picture. This will take you to a page where you can edit your journey. Below the journey icons you will see two links: "Edit Diagnosis Profile" and "Delete Diagnosis Profile". VERY IMPORTANT. Make sure the diagnosis you want to delete is being displayed above and then click the "Delete Diagnosis Profile". This should take care of it.

    Welcome to WhatNext. Thank you for taking the time to register. I see you did not register a diagnosis. When you are ready, I recommend you register a diagnosis so we can match you to relevant peers, information and resources.
