Aware of my T since April 2012 but I believe I may have had it for many years and not known what it was till it got worse in 2012 and frantically searched the internet for a cause and cure. first 6-8 months were rough, then I began to see light at the end of the tunnel. T will not kill me and what does not kill you does make you stronger. I slowly returned back to my normal life and though I am aware of my T, it does not have power over me. I do what I what, when I want. It takes time to get to this point, but it happens. Your brain is a powerful mechanism that does adapt over time. Godspeed
