Like many of you, I have suffered from excrutiating, debilitating pain for many years, because of CH's. I read this board every day, but post infrequently. I, too, have vented, moaned, and groaned about the unfairness of it all. But here's something to consider. Even with the "screamers" lurking around every corner, there are things to enjoy in life. Here is a partial list.
-Smile at the one you love the most
-Play golf on good days (shot a 79 today)
-Plant flowers and trees and watch them grow
-Play with your grandchildren
-Sit on the porch, balcony, whatever, and watch a sunset
-Hang a bird feeder, and watch them enjoy the treat
-Pet a puppy
-Take a trip to a place you've never been
There are a million more. The point is that life doesn't have to stop. It merely contains interruptions. There are still many things to enjoy.
