RE: Enjoy the ride

That's awful to read... I don't know if you're aware of recent studies that show that in many cases of degenerative diseases, including cancer and autoimmune disorders, treatment is not necessary. I find the perspective that illness could simply be a part of who we are to be somewhat logical...

You don't seem anxious to me, so tell your illness that you accept it, but that you will determine the path you take together. You can do it! All the best!

treatment is not necessary

This is strange to read from someone from a country where cancer is actually cured in most cases. 😃 But I understand what you mean. In the case of autoimmune diseases, it's your own cells turning against you. This has a very deep meaning, reason and message. Maybe if a person hasn't felt supported their whole life, they end up doing that to themselves. In the order of things. So that they can subsequently accept all this and start supporting themselves. Themselves, because no other support is needed...

You don't seem anxious to me

It's only now because I've been looking for a way to distract myself from my worries for a long time and I found them in this or that. There was a long period when I went to doctors and got diagnoses, but I was emotionally preoccupied (distracted) with other things and didn't care. I was happy, then unhappy, but all of this was distracting and absolutely necessary.
I will certainly talk to the disease about this soon. I just want to finally understand what it is. For it to have a name so I can address it. We will have a serious talk 😂Or a loving one. But if we want to continue living, we have to stick together somehow. Otherwise it won't happen.
Thank you!

in many cases of degenerative diseases, including cancer and autoimmune disorders, treatment is not necessary.

The treatment doesn't cure but delays the deterioration. At some point, the delaying effect also slows down. I don't know if it happens in all such diseases but I have seen it in Parkinson's patient. I think it's wise to maintain the better living standard as long as one can by getting the treatment.
