Hi
thought we could do a shout out of what has become positive of your chronic pain, what we have learned that we never thought of before that has enriched our lives you cant say DS that would be fair.
1. Family- being able to spend more time with them even under painful circumstance

I found DS and some really great friends.
My husband who is willing to help when I can't do things.
Learning to be willing to depend on others when I can't do things - a big one for me. -

I am learning slowly to have more patince in life,in the everyday things that I used to rush through.The things I used to do just to get them done.Now I am thankful most days when I can just do them.So I have made a game of sorts when I can.I am taking more time to do the things and enjoying them more.Example:weeding my flower beds.I have always loved my gardens,now i take more time as I need too.But I find I enjoy it and love what I have accomplished so much more.I guess its the "take the time to smell the roses thing."
Patience is something I have never had,so the postive is I am working on it,and realizing it does not all have to be done NOW. -

Realizing to be honest with myself about the pain. I was denying it for so long because I didn't want it to be such a big part of my life. My husband and I have grown even closer to one another and the Lord. I have met a lot of great people on DS. I am learning to talk about my pain with others instead of just my husband (tyring to take some of the pressure off of him). I'm SO BLESSED!
Great Topic!! Thanks:-) -

Without a doubt the unconditional love & support of my husband & family. I went from a skeptic regarding fibro to a suffer with a long list of symptoms.
For a long time I thought it would go away & my life could return to normal. I've had to accept that I have a chronic illness & my life has completely changed.
I've had to learn patience, like everyone else. And not to take life for granted. Live in the moment & accept my limitations.
Of course all my friends on DS. I don't feel the lonliness or isolation I felt before I found this sight.
Great topic! Thanks! -

Learning that I had to go through the stages of grief and accept that. Knowing how much my husband loves me and how strong he stands besides me every step of the way. I stopped giving up the things that I enjoyed so much and just do them. Yes the pain goes through the roof but no more nervous breakdowns for me. I was so upset when I lost my job when this all began now I can honestly say what a crappy job it was and laugh. Yes I've learned how to laugh again..
Thanks Manny..you made me realize how lucky I am this morning and what a great way to start my day.. -

I learned how to be vulnerable and ask for help. I get to spend so much time with my kids. I am more then just a body.... I am a spirit filled with all this love and creativity... how cool that was for me to learn. Becca
