RE: What it's like to live with a RARE DISEASE that no one's ever heard of

in #life8 years ago

Keep fighting the good fight and sharing with us because not too many people get a chance to hear about what it's like from the inside. My parent has a few rare diseases that made growing up a very much different experience from my peers. These adversities are terrible, difficult to deal with and can make even the most optimistic person feel hopeless. But those same adversities also engender strength and resilience, as clearly evidenced by the story you shared with us. Thanks!

Thanks Prufarchy! And you're definitely right about building strength and resilience. I think there are lessons to be learned for the healthy too. If you think about it, the problems that most people with chronic illnesses have to deal with are the same as everyone else, only magnified exponentially. You can learn a lot from a person facing adversity who just doesn't give up.

Always need reassurance, thanks for this!
