Its really hard to stay positive at that time. Definitely it will hurt a lot.  But with courage and determination one can stay positive by leading a purposeful life, by spreading awareness among masses about the disease and you can change their life.

I am 43 and I have 37 medical conditions.  I take plenty of medication, but that is the upside of all this.  It is thanks to medication and Mobility Devices like walkers that allow me to live an independent life where I don't have to rely on a nursing home or some other form of dependent living.

There is always somebody worse off than me.  I've said that my entire life, even as a kid.  I am not dying, none of my illnesses are terminal or contagious...just annoying.

I keep going by remember there is always somebody who is worse off than me.  A lady I grew up with recently had to have a partial leg amputation.  To me, that outweighs all my 37 medical conditions.

Focus on the good that you still have and be grateful for those things many take for granted and, though you may have down times, you will get through on a higher note than focusing on all the issues you are facing.
