Hi,

Welcome to NT.

It is a wonderful community of people helping people. You are not alone.

There's lots of info here and on the web. Do your homework and get the second or third opinion.

Keep a diary.

Get yourself in as good of a physical condition as you can, with water for hydration of your whole body, foods enriched with protien and vitamins, rest if you can, and keep your spirits up. It will enable you to make better decisions and handle what lies ahead for you.

There are a lot of things we shouldn't do, like caffeine, smoking, overindulging in things that are not good for us. There's room for improvement in all of us.

It takes time to change, and time for the changes to take effect.

Do whatever you can to be positive about the situation.

Prayer is always good.

Keep asking questions and keep us posted.
