This my opinion and thoughts on the subject. I am sure these are not totally and uniquely my thoughts but an accumulation of influences and my interpretations of them in this my Relapsing Remitting (RRms) life.
I believe my RRms has lead me to a much better understanding and feeling for myself and others. I understand my pain better. Where it comes from and the influences that it can have on me. Cold packs are not always the best on Trigeminal Neuralgia paiin; sometimes a heating pad is better. I am not exactly sure why, it just is sometimes and I accept that. Standing in the corner screaming at the wall does not really do anything positive, even if it does feel good at times.
I understand how my disability may scare others or at least make them apprehensive. This is not my problem, it is not something I have to fix. My priority is to me when I have time I can help them if that is what I want to do. My duty, my obligation is to making my RRms life as good as possible for me. This does not mean be selfish or cruel to others. Just learn to accept your fears and the wild vagaries that "YOU" may encounter along you long life with RRms.
This RRms life is not all bad, it is liveable it just takes some adjusting and flexibility, but what is next is next. I will be careful and take care of myself, but I will not now or ever worry. What will be will be and I like "YOU" will learn to handle it.
