Elaine wrote something one day that hit home

She had a period where she felt no pain and started to feel guilty. She was told not to and to enjoy it. She touched upon something that I've mentioned before. Becoming institutionalized to these things. When my Verapamil started working and i'd go 4 days with no attacks I felt like I was leaving people behind. Like my life was nothing that I knew and I didn't like it. After that when I got a hit and it was a 5 I felt back to my normal self. I felt at peace, in a way. When the pain cranked up higher I cursed myself for that. So, I'm asking again for your thoughts. Other than the elation of the thought of being cured, how many people will be the same again? How many people do not see this as such a part of who they are that without them they will feel an esential part of themselves missing?
