[QUOTE="2131tom, post: 568645, member: 85280"] Hi, Lucy. Most of us have been there and we're all still wearing the tee shirts. Try not to feel overwhelmed or despondent; the feeling of shock does wear off quite quickly and you then realise that it's perhaps not the worst that could have happened to you. It'll change your life, yes, but not in a way that you can't manage. Suggest you do some background reading - the threads on this site are excellent for giving you first-hand experiences and answers to all sorts of questions and if there's something you're concerned about, don't be afraid to ask. Above all, take it steady - most people try to rush the learning curve and end up overwhelmed by what they feel is the sheer complexity of it all. It [I]is [/I]complicated (especially if, like me, you'd only ever been vaguely aware of the condition before being suddenly diagnosed), but it's nothing that you can't get your head around, given a little time and access to a decent source of information.
