I found that coping and acceptance, go together.
Once you have understood that lifestyle changes and therapy
will be a part of your life, because this is a chronic disease with no cure yet you can go about the business of working towards it not having as much of an impact on your life. Accept the fact that it will be with you for quite a while, and deal with it in the best possible manner.
I found that whatever it takes - meds, supplements, exercise, etc.....whatever lessens the symptoms and lets you live as normal a life as possible.
I'm not saying give up.
I'm not saying don't fight.
I'm saying become as astute and as educated on the subject, keep up with trends and new meds, stay aware........and get on with your life.
don't let it lead your life. The adage "I've got PN....but PN doesn't have me" ....applies well here.
