How has your life changed after diagnosis?

I will start. I woke up every morning and would look at my body wondering how I would change. I remember the day about 8 months later and my first thought was NOT that I have NN! Not that I don’t have issues like having rouse a cane or walking sticks outside. Occasional backaches from arthritic joints and still have to take 16 pills and supplements each day but I’m 76, and take care of myself. Sure I had to see my car. It I take Uber wherever I need to go!
How has your life changed?

  1. Hi ! That's a great question. I think the biggest change for me has been priorities. Things I once cared so much about now couldn't matter less to me. I try to make more time for the things that are truly important. It was a big silver lining.
