Yes with lots of ambition and support. We have to learn our limits or pace ourselves. I'm still working on that

I would say live for the moment and don't expect to be as able as you used to. X

My life has changed dramatically & not for the good. It's very depressing & it doesn't get any better. Sorry to tell you this!

Things cycle I find. Headaches straight for 6 months, then they will go away and it's stomach issues. That will end, then my elbows hurt then back to headaches etc.

Used to be a GED teacher, but can't teach math any longer. Would get lost in the middle of trying to teach it where I volunteer, and just couldn't do it. Am grateful that my language arts skills are still intact. Without these skills, would be sinking into a depression, as English was my undergraduate degree, and have had, and on occasion, love to read. It's one of my escapes, along with movies and music. And yes, my pain has increased over the years, but have spinal issues as well, so who knows?
