When I first found out I felt very lost because I was given no information, I was just told to take these medications and make a follow up appointment. I had been to urgent care numerous times and was still feeling terrible when they finally figured out I had bronchitis that took weeks of steroids and antibiotics to finally get over.I really felt like nobody was listening to me and that was frustrating. I am still new to this and trying to learn as much as I can. I don't have an emergency plan and that worries me. I wish the doctors would be more informative. One day at a time and knowing triggers and limitations is what I'm working on now. ☺
