Let me tell you how I deal with what has happened to me over the years, and how I still deal with things. I think to myself, there are many people who suffer with horrible pain, myself one of them. I believe that for every one of us that suffers, there is a person out there somewhere that is having a good life. They are healthy and happy and have no pain. I know it may sound weird. But whenever those thoughts of.. why me, I can't handle this anymore rear they're ugly heads ..I remember that I am suffering a little so that someone in the world, somewhere may have a good life. It has helped me since I first got very sick at the age of 6 and I am now 27 years old and still smiling regardless of the pain. I have to believe that we are not given more than we can handle :)
Hugz and hope for you :) Take Care and Smile :) -Mandii
