I have seen on this site that different people have been diagnosed on their BP at different ages. 15, 20, 35, 55 etc. I was wondering
1. If u are diagnosed at say 55, does it mean u suddenly became BP at 55, or u became worse than b4 allowing for a confirmed diagnosis.
2. Also..just wondering, if one was diagnosed later in life , like 45, what quality of life did u lead b4 and did the dianosis prevent u from leading similar life.
thanks.
