While I have read alot of your posts I have never put my two cents worth in.
My innate curiosity and the love of life I felt for myself made me put
on a kind of challenging attitude towards graves disease. I had to
find a way to get the best of the handicap I have and something I
have to live with for the rest of my life. First of all, I had to truly
and fully accept the chronic disease and accept success in having
a positive attitude towards it and towards life. So after the
first difficult years I started to lead a very active life, almost
frenetic life, in an attempt to show myself, but also to others that there
was nothing I couldn’t do because I had graves disease. To fix one’s
aims and to attain them is something important that makes one’s
self esteem grow and having graves disease became something I
did not need to hide from the rest of the world!
Best of health,
Phoebe
