In her latest blog, Carrie recounts the feeling of being at a loss for words when she first felt unwell. She remembers how her joints would swell, her sleep would be interrupted by pain, and fatigue would overwhelm every waking moment. With no diagnosis or proposed reason for her symptoms, her future seemed unsure, perspective waning, concentration pending.
“Then! I learned a lot about loss and grief as I worked through the reality of my new diagnosis. I gained a deeper understanding of what it means to accept my circumstances, how to manage expectations and about humility.” – Carrie
