Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

I understand that you have to pick your battles, but you can pick your victories.

I almost coded 3 times in the period of a month before my problem got diagnosed and treated.

Sometimes your victories are "Got out of bed by myself." "Didn't choke on broth." "Made it to the bathroom with only a cane." or "Was able to talk on the phone for 5 minutes with the other person being able to understand me."

It's easy to give up, anyone can do it. I know that seems trite, but it's also true.

Fight for every second, every minute. Avenge yourself by being a pain in the ass to some deserving people, if nothing else.

Find something to be passionate about and fight for it, however you can.

Refuse to "give up", but feel free to "take a rest".

If I am going to be killed by a bear, I will jam my arm down its' throat and choke it to death, that I may have a suitable mount in the afterlife. I'm takin' that motherf**ker with me.

And never, never, NEVER give up your sense of humor. The more sick and twisted the better.
