When I reflect of that first year or two while going through the process of diagnosis and trying to find the magic cocktail of drugs that helped manage my pain, I have to admit I was quite difficult to live with. <br /><br />I too went through a process of grief. It was only when I was able to forgive myself for being sick that I was then able to move forward past the fear and the shock into acceptance. <br /><br />It's not ok that I am sick, but I am ok with it now. After all, it's nothing I can change dramatically in any immediate way. But I am working on it. Remaining positive and choosing to BE positive has helped quite a bit toward being able to cope with even the worst bad pain days.<br /><br />Thank GAWD for the internet huh? If not for being able to talk to others who truly understand what it is like to live with a chronic illness, I would have been in a much darker place.<br /><br />Glad I found your blog! Hope you are having the best day you can :)Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12022297173999989286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430531610682194988.post-24731039667421780762013-03-02T18:10:28.591-05:002013-03-02T18:10:28.591-05:00I am glad you appreciated it.
