Remarkably, I am very alive, with my quite severe 'dysautonomia' which in my case is autonomic neuropathy....Oh, and also, I have sensory PN too....which affects the motor functions.
Relax...you can manage this, more or less. Yes, it is a challenge, but, you can manage it.
The biggest thing is not to panic over the changes going on in your body....learn to roll with it.
Hey, Mrsd, I have similar flowers.....they are so pretty. This year, I went bonkers on Astilbe too. I found some very nice plants on sale for $5, big ones too!
