Yes, you can be happy. I would strongly encourage anyone who has had Lemierres syndrome, or has a family member that had Lemierres syndrome, to join a support group (Facebook has a few), seek out a good therapist, and talk to each other about what you both experienced-honestly. It is not abnormal to have anxiety, seek out medical professionals quicker when feeling ill, and have PTSD. It is also not abnormal for family members of the person recovering/recovered from Lemierres syndrome to become overly protective and have feelings of helplessness and guilt.
