Thank you, Sue, for expressing it like you just did.

You are so right about attitude and acceptance. I’m working on that right now.

The stress from trying to find what is wrong, what is causing the pain and what helps to minimize the pain is causing me headaches. I have to focus on the positive.

I will read your post again, and again….

I know how hard it is to live with pain or other symptoms, not know the cause, or know the cause and know their is no cure - only management. I am happy to hear you are trying to focus tools to manage & live with your pain.

A wise doctor (mine) told me "We can keep on looking for a cure, or we can figure out how to live with it. Giving up is not an option." She was referring to her own diagnosis of Parkinson's as well as mine of Central Sensitization, arthritis, bronchiectasis...

I encourage you to keep focusing on the positive...you will find joy in life again.
Sue
