Re: I want to GIVE UP!
Now is the time to settle in and take control! Your description is exactly how I felt in Jan-Feb 2005 and my list of ills could rival many... my discouragement was to the point I wanted to die and be done with it.
The doctors made thier move, and pissed me off bad enough that it caused me to take pause and think for myself (as far as my health was concerned) and get the hell out of their offices; hopefully for good.
I am not pain free now, but from almost being ready for a wheel chair (if doctors had their way) to now working out 1.5 hours a day and learning\teaching martial arts again, I have come a long way.
Was it my determination, taking charge and positive thinking on my abilities to get better? Probably had a LOT to do with me improving.
Did it happen over night? No.
Am I still determined and working on it? You bettcha!
Do I believe I will get better still? Absolutely!
Will I ever give my health away to the medical establishment again? Never.
