Sooo normal
Hi MJo, Being normal isn't always comfortable, is it? Maybe that is why I've spent most of my life being abnormal we all go through the 'sitting duck' phase. After treatment is very scary. The main thing that has worked for me and I think many others is to do a lot of complementary type modalities e.g. massage, acupuncture, supplements, exercise, reiki, etc. It is very empowering to do things for you and your body. It is that sense of being proactive that many find so therapeutic.
And of course that dumb old truth we all hear is, "It just takes time".
Stay strong MJo (cause you are).
