Struggling with Morphea: Can anyone offer some hope?

Hi @hildeirene, I'd like to invite @anakr, @sarahintexas, @bunnyhopper18, and @becks72 to this conversation about morphea. You may have come across their posts in the Help with Morphea treatment discussion (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/help-with-morphea-treatment/).
@hildeirene, you mentioned you have been prescribed a few medications by your provider in Norway - did they give any indication on what to expect with these treatments (timeline, recovery, side effects?) As @becsbuddy mentioned a therapist, are you finding any ways to take your mind off your diagnosis to help ease anxiety?

Hi, and thanks for responding:) The doctors at the hospital said I had to be patient, it’ll take at least 3-4 months before any improvement. Maybe even 6 months! It’s just that I feel I’m getting worse every day… hence the despair.. They haven’t answered my questions about side effects, just saying it might be the disease itself . So I don’t really know..Can I trust the medicine? How do I cope? I’m trying to keep myself occupied, but not always easy.. Thanks for the link to the discussions:)
