Struggling with anxiety while undergoing diagnostic testing

I don’t know anyone that has not suffered during this crazy pandemic!
I was diagnosed with two autoimmune do’s and put on two meds that are “ challenging at best”. My anxiety from the diagnosis and the meds was through the roof and then I remembered my Rheumatologist stating that Accupuncture can be helpful in the treatment of autoimmune!
Let me tell you I don’t know yet about the impact it is having for the AntiSynthetase and Sjogrens BUT my anxiety is gone!!!
I feel so good AND my energy is through the roof!

Thich Naht Hahn has written some fantastic books about mindfulness. In my experience, that has been the most effective approach to reducing anxiety. Mindfulness helps me stay focused on the present moment instead of anticipating what MIGHT happen in the future. Maybe that approach would help you too. There are no side effects. Your local library can find the book to loan you.
