No use in me depressing you more with my history, but what I do know is this. I am the most stubborn and strong-willed human being on this Earth and I will never let these defeat me. After these SOBs, I would make a great POW (Prisoner of War) for no torture can match 'em.
When I do get a break, let me tell you! I enjoy my life to the absolute fullest. My children are a blessing. I lead each pain free day/hour with a smile and blank these completely from my mind. Even if I know that I might have one in a few more hours I am gonna be happy for this short reprieve. Even though I still feel the pain from the last one while I recover, the pounding is something I can get through.
I face life knowing that I will never be cured, but hey, this is the way my cards were dealt, and it is comforting to know that I have friends like you out there that can empathize with me.
Keep Up The Fight!
