One of the chapters in my new book is titled “I Never Accepted My Condition”.
The book is one I just finished writing called Overcoming A Mysterious Condition.
Sometimes it is just too easy to buy into whatever condition or label we’ve been given, even though we struggle through a difficult health issue. While it is helpful to know what it is we are facing, if we are not careful we become the label. I understand that is a very small distinction, but in my
