About to get on a plane for the first time in years and the first time since my diagnosis, I used to love flying but now I’m very anxious and want to just stay home. Too many uncertainties.

I'm a bit nervous. My daughter and I are traveling to NYC Saturday for a week and it's the first time I am outwardly using assistive devices like my cane and I just bought a walker. I am really hoping it goes well. I don't get a lot of exercise and I also have a desk job.

So I’ve had really long road. Got sick in March 20 20 of course lol so it took about 20 months to get my diagnosis and in that time I got misdiagnosed two or three times. so here I am. Got my official diagnosis in January 2022 and I still feel like I have to explain myself to my close friends about how I don’t want to travel and go to a bunch of noisy places. I feel like they haven’t even looked into my disease. Some people have, and they tell me I’m doing great. The ones I haven’t act like I should be able to just go out and run a mile… super frustrating. How do y’all deal with people that refuse to look into your disease?
