For me, after struggling with graves for over 5 years now I’m finally on the downhill slope.
I’ve learned to de-stress – so very important for me! I’ve discovered a new creative hobby which I can take up on the the days my eyes feel good and let sit when they’re hurting too much. I’ve learned that you have to be your own support group; that it’s okay to take a nap when you come home from work or on your lunch hour; it’s okay to let the dishes sit in the sink till the next day; it’s okay to pamper yourself in whatever way you can manage; that doctors really don’t know everything and I have to investigate, learn for myself & question. I’ve learned that while I can never go back to what I once was
the person I’m becoming is very worthwhile too……. ” title=”Very Happy” />
And, last but not least, I’ve discovered this group, which has helped through so much of the dark days! Thank you all!!
