One thing that was helpful to me around that point was to quit waiting to return to the person I used to be. I needed to accept this situation and move forward. It was a huge turning point for me. I also needed to learn more about what was going on with this illness and its symptoms rather than just waiting for them to go away.

I am a type a person that can push through anything. Pushing through the symptoms was only making matters worse. I remember reading about Marks work a rounds and thinking, I don't want work a rounds, I want this to go away.

Who knows what life is ahead of us? Try to accept what we are given.
