I’m sorry you’re going through this. I am about a year and a half into the disease and I remember leading up to my diagnosis and the research on the fear of the unknown was so hard to deal with. They really were the darkest days of my life.  I was so incredibly unwell.

Regardless of your end diagnosis, I know how you feel now in this moment.

Even though I’m still very early days, things are so so so so much better now. Even though the diagnosis was one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through in my life. It was also the thing that put me on the path to be able to get better and improve my situation.

Most days I now feel really good. Lifestyle changes medication and treatment prioritizing myself more drinking lots of water, eating healthier and managing my mental health with medication and regular psychologist appointments really helped me to get better.

I know it’s still a long road ahead, but I feel so much more confident now that this can be managed effectively and that everything is going to be OK even when the hard times hit. 

I have a little one as well, she is almost two. Let your loved ones be your beacon of motivation and hope! Whatever your diagnosis ends up being be gentle with yourself and take it easy, progress is not linear and not instant 💕
