Sometimes life just kicks you in the butt in an awful way. I think it's great that you try to stick to a positive attitude. I find that that helps me a lot myself.

I had endometriosis. My yearly physical was scheduled maybe a week after my CRPS diagnosis and I had already planned on asking about a hysterectomy to solve the problem. With my diagnosis, it solidified it for me. There is only so much pain I can handle in life at a time. I told the surgeon to ditch the uterus, keep the ovaries. It's been 6 weeks today and I know when my cycle is still based on my migraines and not a lick of pain. Not sure how old you are or where you are in life on the subject, but I highly recommend it if it's an option.
