Hey sweety, welcome to PC. The best thing that you can do is read experiences to see the similarities, plus do research and learn this illness, which isn't as hard as it seems. Another thing is to learn your meds and options. You control your body hun, and you don't have to take everything they want to shove down your throat. First try the meds with the least side effects. The meds for me as listed below have about zero side effects. Everyone's different, but at least it's an idea. What works for me might not work for you. Finding your perfect cocktail is a hit and miss and takes a little while, but when you get it, it ges better. Hang in there! Glad that you are getting treatment and there is hope for a better life for you because it was/is for me! Good luck!
One other thing, I won't take anything that'll mess with my libido!
