Yesterday I came across a post from someone who went through the same arduous journey as me and ended up in the same positive place.
It's called "What Do You Choose".
The author describes being hit with rheumatoid arthritis, which has a not dissimilar pattern of periodic flare-ups as migraine.
His initial despair is followed by a gradual dawning of the idea that he would not let the disease consume his whole life, and that he could construct happiness in new ways. I urge you to read Rheumatoid Arthritis Guy's post, which is written with much eloquence and grit, along with the comments. There is much to learn there.
