My PN has been with me for almost 30 years, so I had better be accepting it by now! I did go through a long “why me” period and it affected my mental health. I think it’s important for us to get to acceptance for our overall wellbeing. When I go to Mayo I see people in much worse shape than I, and I find gratitude for the body I have.

Hi, @mitfit
I agree. Thirty years is more than enough time to learn how to be accepting! It was a little over 30 years ago when I realized I had to quit drinking, and, for a term, as I worked toward true acceptance, I would have similar "Why me?" moments ("Why am I the one who can't have a nice glass of wine with this dinner?"). But I got over it.
Cheers!
