Thanks Ritch, I did find that inspiring. My thoughts... Once you find a med regime that keeps you halfway stable, acceptance is the next big challenge. Not just accepting the diagnosis, but accepting the reality of living with the condition, the imperfection of the available medical treatment, and the gap between what life is, and what you think it could have been without this burden.
I'm 9 years post-diagnosis, and just beginning to realize meds won't erase the condition. It feels a lot better to accept that than to fight it.
