Advice & Tips:
Looking back over the last year I have had some ups and downs but over all I feel very lucky to have started treatment so quickly. I feel better everyday and if I have to deal with minor dizzy spells from time to time, so be it. I hope next year when I update my profile and can report even more progress.
