Autoimmune Gastritis diagnosis

After dealing with doctors for the past 4 months I finally see that I am on the road to be diagnosed with autoimmune atrophic gastritis. I had an endoscopy with biopsy that suspected I have it but they wanted blood test to confirm it. I am still in denial and pretty upset and looking for words of encouragement and maybe experience from others that have what I do. I just turned 38 😞
