Once pain takes over

Pain demands to be felt, to be attended to.  It cripples the mind and the body, there is no avoiding it, no drug that removes it completely, it can only be numbed and only for a short while.   No one can tell you how to deal with it, how to control it, or how to stop it.

 Once pain sets root in your life, it is yours and yours alone.

The pain dance

When I look back at the road I have traveled with this disease, I wonder how I did it.   It wasn’t strength of character, it wasn’t physical strength, it was just survival nothing more.  There isn’t something I possess that the next person isn’t equipped to handle (wish I could say it was).  When you are drowning you fight like hell for your next breath.  So going forward do I have what it takes to keep fighting?  Hell I don't know, but do I really have a choice.
