Wise thoughts as always, Dinah. I guess I've come to terms with not being "cured," but as far as chronic conditions go, my chief complaint is living with something I have to keep secret. When my coworkers and family struggle with chronic illnesses, everyone chips in and makes the burden lighter. But I just have to grin and bear it and be the rock for everyone else.
I think I will ask my T about some case histories, a little comparison of the best I can hope for considering my history. I think I will also ask him for the theory or the science that suggests trudging through all of this is a good idea. Of course he'll say, "Everyone is different . . ."
Thanks for the food for thought.
