Hi KJP37,
So sorry you need this forum but know that is has amazing supportive people who have shared many, if not all, of your experiences. I was just recently diagnosed myself so I am still adjusting, and have come to realize, will continue adjusting for a long time. Be patient with your body---it has gone through and is going through a lot. I love your determination! With support from your care team and patience that determination will help!
Best of luck and hopefully you will keep us posted!
