My greatest challenges have been fatigue and stress (related to having the diagnosis and what it might mean in the future).
It's hard to make decisions that go against what you want but are best for your health. I decided not to travel across the globe on a family vacation to visit my brother because I knew the trip would be too hard on me. I developed asthma and migraines shortly after diagnosis and I knew the trip would be difficult to enjoy with asthma (out of breath with moderate activity) and trigger my migraines (need to go to a dark, quiet place for hours if not the rest of the day). I feel like I missed out but I know it was the right thing to do. I would have felt so guilty for spending so much money being there and being unable to enjoy it.
