What you say about fighting tooth and nail, I guess I´m still there, half of the time, doing that. I keep telling myself not to do it because it´s negative thinking (and with our “condition” you *have* to stay positive!), but then I get so angry because I want to do things and I can´t do them. I´m an Aries, so there you go. Head through the wall and all that.

But you´re right, I also need to come to terms with “integrating” my illness(es) into my life and making them part of who I am. Like I said, I am having a hard time doing that, but it cannot happen from one day to the next, and I´m proud to say, again, like I said before, that over the years I am now half way there. Slowly does it (as everything we do, hehe).
