Dear Poppy,
I’m not surprised you wake up with anxiety, I’m so sorry to hear of your suffering. I have no answer to your question, but I suppose we all deal with long term illness in different ways. At the moment, I am cancer free but I also have rheumatoid arthritis, sjogren’s syndrome, bronchiectasis with pseudomonas and now osteopenia.
I can only send you love, hugs and prayers.
