Let’s stay on the positive side of this! Remember, you were just at Mayo Clinic for a second opinion and they did not write you off! They feel you definitely have a chance to get this into remission and on with your life!
Our outlook can have a huge impact on the success of our treatments. Believe me, I know what it’s like to have bad news and the statistics were not in my favor. But here I am, through sheer will and determination. ☺️
So my advice to you is to start this new medication, get out and walk daily whether you feel like it or not. Find some happy, uplifting positive thing in each day to help motivate you through. Do anything to help you re-focus from your illness and restore some normal activities. Your disease doesn’t have to define you. 🙃
Tell me something about yourself. Do you have family and friends around you? What are your hobbies and things that bring you gratification? Do you enjoy walking, gardening, painting?
