Struggling with Chronic Illness: Seeking Encouragement and Understanding

I understand you I take alot of medication too

I'm glad you brought that up. I'm tired of nurses asking, "you take ALL of these prescriptions?" There are people who say, "I wouldn't take the meds, ill barely take an aspirin!". They are dangerous to me and I'm sure others. I start thinking that I can be fine without my meds. But no I can't. It's dangerous thinking. I too wish I could do the things I used to do with my grandson, but the pain shows me that I can't do those things anymore. I hate that but the more I think about what I used to be like, the more I resent others abilities. But when I accept my disabilities, I can focus on the good things I can do and acceptance of my conditions makes room for gratitude for the other positives in my life. There are others out there who are in worse shape than we are. We can do things that others cannot, gratitude.

Any leg exercise even laying in bed counts as exercise like leg lifts or Scissor kicks. If it's your diet cut some of the carbs eat more veggies
