Hi everyone! I was diagnosed with LC last year. I was pregnant at the time, but miscarried. I have been really depressed, and so insecure. I've had depression for 20 years, and anxiety. I have money worries that stress me out so much. I also have a very low immune system due to other health conditions such as an underactive thyroid and rheumatoid/palindromic arthritis all over my body, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. The diagnosis of LC has made me so much worse. I broke up with my partner last year after he gave me no support after the miscarriage. I'm completely fine without him, but would love to start dating again - but I have no self confidence and the thought of someone seeing the LC makes me panic and feel sick! Do you guys know of any good way to get rid of the white patches? I've tried so many creams. Yesterday I read that CBD oil can help so applied some last night. I would really appreciate your help, please help me get some confidence and my life back! Thank you so much.
