We just have to keep going. I fear for sitting to long waiting on change would stiffen me so much I would be in fear of not making it to the rest room some daysf! Oy. Fearing the flare itself is what in my opinion, stifles us. I think if we come to accept it is inevitable, we can adapt to most anything thrown our way.

Excellent blog.

WIth me, I think I was scared of flares at first because they were new to me. I didn’t know how long or severe they would be, or if I would get back to feeling good again. I no longer fear flares either, in part I believe, to simply maturing with the disease (7 years now).

“What I do know is that whenever it happens, I will be ready to pick myself back up. This counts for a lot.” Indeed it does.

There are many kinds of strength!

I have recently come to the same conclusion. I know they are always around the corner but I am learning to deal with that.
