I'd suspected it for over a decade, but was still shocked when I was actually diagnosed with it. Now when I look back over the course of my life, it's been there since childhood.....I just didn't see it till my 40s, and didn't get treated till my early 50s. I wish I had been more proactive when I was younger, maybe it wouldn't have gotten as bad as it is. But what do they say---too soon old, too late smart?
