Depression, anxiety, Isolation,

[Konagirl60]

Loss of career and job, loss of ability to socialize, loss of ability to workout, loss of ability to have an intimate relationship, loss of ability to parent properly, loss of finances and savings, loss of hope when doctors gas light you.

[Standup808]

Loss of everything - Konagirl sums up its debilitating effects very well. Even now, when I am so much better, I pace myself and I explain to my associates that I am like someone who has a chronic illness (akin to Lyme disease). It is not like a sore knee.

Depression

Anxiety

Lack of want for sex

Isolation
