I was diagnosed in 2020. it is a complex illness with many variants. there is one universal truth that I find in many of our members. And that is a mental firmness of positive expectancy. You will find that there are certain routines in your life - both with homeopathic medication‘s and pharmacology along with scheduling your life around your most energetic times -that will allow you to perform at your best. Facebook has groups that provide excellent information. Be grateful for all things, take personal responsibility for your medical oversight; be receptive to ideas about diet and supplements.
