Hello ... I too was recently diagnosed and felt every bit of what you are going through. It’s not easy and I don’t think anyone here will lie and say it is, but it is manageable and it is NOT life threatening.
Ive been living with this diagnosis for less than two months and I can honestly say it DOES get better mentally. Personally, this forum in addition to all the research and knowledge I continue to gain has helped me TREMENDOUSLY.
Also, I made an appointment with an infectious disease dr, someone who specializes in this field. I think that talking to a medical professional who deals strictly with this will help give me even more valid information and help ease my mind. I have a list of questions to ask and for me ... KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!
I know how extremely difficult this is and I am here if you ever need to talk.
This community has helped me mentally so much already, and I want to pay it forward with my experiences and information.
Happy to talk to and share with anyone here who needs a friend!
