There might be days when it seems like your symptoms are going to last forever and you'll never get your life back.
On those days, I hope you'll remember that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of researchers working hard to find effective treatments for chronic conditions.
Some are studying what's happening in the body in order to develop new treatments. Others are testing existing treatments to see if they can be used for different conditions.
Meanwhile, allow your mind to ponder this question every now and again: What do I *need* to heal?
Listen for an answer, without expecting what it might be. It'll probably change throughout the day and from day to day.
Keep asking until an answer shows up that you can take action on to support your own healing.
Taking positive action helps to keep your hopes up.
