Hi. I'm newly diagnosed and scared witless

[Guest guest]

My name is , I live in Greenville,TX. I'm 31 and have had

lifelong epilepsy, chronic back and joint pain and was diagnosed with

RA just two and a half weeks ago.I don't know what to do really. All I

can think of is what I'll never do. I know I'm feeling sorry for

myself and of course like anything in life there will be adjustments.

At least I've been told sooo many times before. I hate cliches but I

could really use some right now. I am so scared and don't really have

any friends that understand anything about this. I wonder if I'd just

never gone to the doctor if I would still be this messed up right now.

I don't know. I apologize if this is not the type of stuff to be

posting here. I just need to talk to someone who at least understands

a little.
