It's definitely a scary time when you first get diagnosed. I was diagnosed eight years ago at age 50. It took me a bit of time to get my head around the diagnosis, but once I did, I feel I have been able to live a pretty much normal life. At least so far! I get tired more than I feel I would without ET, but also a bit hard to know what is slowing me down - ET or age! Probably a combination I suppose. Listen to your body - push a little (i.e., get out there and get some exercise even when you may not want to), but give yourself some grace if things are more difficult than before. Best of luck to you.
