Hi Kristy,
I'm newly diagnosed too. It is pretty scary. This support group (hi everyone) has been a great resource for me. I go from being really tough to being really scared sometimes in the same day - but the bottom line is that this disease, while it can be scary - is usually controllable.
Hang in there and don't forget to ask for help when you need it. My friends and family have been a huge source of comfort and practical assistance.
i had the same problem re doctor not having time for questions. That is really a bummer. But you can get lots of answers to general questions online.
Take care!

K
