    I am so sorry to read of your diagnosis, @Jacqui64 - this really is the mongrel that keeps on giving! :(   Vent here all you like - you are totally allowed to be angry, upset and all the emotions you've been thru already .... having a really supportive family is just terrific.

    We are here for you to lean on when you need that extra bit of strength .... take care & all the best with your upcoming appointments - don't forget to record them on your phone, in case you miss (or forget bits) .... you can go back to it later if you need to. xx

    Hankster - Thank you so much for this message.  I am a little more settled now, but still going through the weekly blood tests, trying to work out which medication will be the best, and cause the lease problems on my body.  It's so strange to get a phone call to say that my liver is unhappy, because I feel so strong, and I'm walking for an hour or more every day.  It's something I'm learning to get used too, but I really hope we can settle on a medication soon.  I ended up getting an anti anxiety/depression medication, because I decided that it was all too much to deal with, and my body just needed a break from the constant anxiety.  It's actually helped me to be more productive, and I've found the fight again, which I think is the most important thing.  Hearing that most people are living "normal" lives is a huge comfort.  Even today I was wondering if I would ever stop thinking about it ALL the time.  I hope you continue to have the greatest and happiest life, and again, thank you so much for checking in. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
