Hi, I was diagnosed officially in June but investigations began last summer when I was off sick from work for 6 weeks. My teenage kids know about some of my symptoms but I have always downplayed how much they effect me to protect them from worrying. I haven’t told family or friends about my diagnosis yet but plan on doing it soon after telling my kids. If anyone’s happy to share how their kids/teenagers took the news I’d really like to hear stories especially if they are positive ones
