HI LInda,
I was reading previous posts and your daughter's journey sounds very
similar to mine. I hope we can be of support - I am 26 now and have
just recently been diagnosed with ppernicious anemia (in 2003 so I
guess not too recently) but have just now recovered the weight loss
I endured from the malabsorption. It took soo long to feel better
and like your daughter I am tired alot, more now than before it
seems, but I can't remember a baseline normal anyway. I would be
interested to hear about her diagnosis for type 1 diabetes - as that
is something I am keeping my eyes out for - what were the symptoms
at onset of the diagnosis? how was she finally diagnosed? - like
you, I never knew I had APS type 1 until being diagnosed with
pernicious anemia so it's been just one diagnosis (usually a late
diagnosis) after another. Any advice about working full-time vs
part time? I just graduated with a degree dietetics but am not sure
if I should commit to a full time job - school was rough enough!
But then I wonder if I'm just scared and should give it a try.
Thanks
Julia
