Hello JC Rockstar Welcome.
I like your attitude
An 'attitude' is a powerful tool that we each have, possibly the most benificial tool in each of our own personal toolkits.

'Patience' is another one, learn to pace everything you do so that in the end you can acomplish more with less pain later, be patient with your body and learn your limits try to slowly better your limits. and know when it's time to have the patience to rest so'as not to go into flare up. Be good to yourself.

'Stubornness' is a very good tool as well, we can use our stuborness to continue to use our limbs as normaly as possible, to exercise and keep our joints from locking up with dystonia. 'stubornness' and 'attitude' are also good tools that we can use to help ourselves to never become too complacent with what we think is all we've got.

There are more tools in our personal kits many infact, it is up to us each to use what we already have inside us and that is our personal tools when things are real bad or you can't think of how you are gonna be able to deal with a situation that you find yourself in..
Then just look to your toolkit, and of cource your new friends here at NT, my name is Sandra welcome.
