Good advisor
I was very shocked and I had never even really heard about the disease :( I think I would've wanted to know the long-term consequence sof the disease and how to properly identify and manage flare ups.

Hello,
Being diagnosed with a chronic illness can be very difficult. The difficulty of this varies amongst patients because everyone has different experiences when being diagnosed.
What was it like for you? Were you surprised? Was your doctor kind?
