Welcome, jjones! I'm glad for you that you have a diagnosis. That is so much better than being in diagnosis limbo like so many are. And how wonderful that you have such a positive attitude. Pain is the pits! Taking one day at a time is a great battle plan, and really, it works for so many different conditions. One thing I had to learn with my condition of myasthenia gravis was to recognize my new limitations, and not try to exceed them. And just remember, for those days when the pain is really bad, you can always find a listening ear, a hug, and a shoulder to cry on here.
Hugs,
