Learning how to live successfully with a chronic illness has been the biggest challenge of my life. Chronic illness is different from other maladies. Seemingly endless, its cure lies in some distant future. It can be life threatening or simply annoying. You are forced to face life rather than face death; putting the brakes on a once complacent, confident perspective and being sent forth into the unknown.
