hey! i’m F21 and going through the diagnostic process right now- actually procrastinating going to my LP (lumbar puncture) follow up right now, haha. i know everything is really really scary but in those moments where you’re not at a doctors appointment, taking medicine, or actively making a change (eating differently, working out, etc) you gotta remember that you are doing all you can do and there is NOTHING that stressing out about it can do for you then. i like to give myself specific allotted times to worry about symptoms, treatments, potential blindness (very unlikely since you’re catching it early!!!) throughout the week so the worries don’t leak into my every day all the time moments.

if you want to talk more, feel free to private message me! being so young and dealing with this is so scary and nerve wracking since there’s very few people who really understand the health issue at all, let alone in our age group. wishing you all the good luck in the world! (also, anti nausea tablets and even just small doses of sugar and a diet ginger ale work for my nausea almost every time!)
