CP brings all sorts of emotions and challenges to the table, both positive and negative. However, all we can do is make the most of it and gently educate others when they don’t understand. This diagnosis, though I would never choose to have it, has allowed myself and others to become more empathetic towards chronic illness and diseases. For that, I am forever grateful.

I found that some of my friends support & respect my illness. Some not so much!
