How do we live with this? Well maybe first because we don't have a choice - or do we? Maybe it's because even though RSD is rather annoying, you've chosen to find something more important in your life to focus on. Sounds like pretty darn good mental health to me. Now why isn't everyone else that way?

While there's no denying the fact that this disease makes considerable changes in our lives, who ever said life didn't come with changes no matter what? Sounds rather normal to me - it's all about the attitude you choose to embrace as these chapters in our life take place. Even without RSD, life does throw curve balls that most find hard at times be it financial, workplace or family problems. We can all choose for ourselves how we'll let this either change our lives or how we'll change so we can live with it. You've learned that it's easier to live with than against it and for that I'm pleased to have met you today. Bob.
