Am sincerely glad to read that doing these things helps you ... but my list of illnesses is such that it's all i can do to have a shower and pick up after myself even living with a spouse who is not well. My days are dreadful most of the time... chronic but not life threatening illnesses... pain, pressure, etc.... no cures (for things like constant tinnitus, hyperacusis, fecal incontinence, glaucoma and eye related foggy vision sometimes and the list goes on).. not complaining but it's never-ending and honestly not much relief... how many other folk are coping I don't know but I just feel enough is enough at 78 and reasonably good life... quality not quantity is my choice, but it seems no end in sight. Again, glad to read how many are finding ways around illness and am not looking fo sympathy, but I feel overwhelmed.
