Glad to hear you're making a recovery, and that's very true about the mind and its ability to work with you or against youGreenStratMan wrote: ↑July 28th, 2022, 4:38 amI have an autoimmune disease now, which has affected my liver and nerves, caused severe muscle wasting and weakness. I had a flare-up in March 21 which left me with partial paralysis and widespread numbness. It took me weeks just to be able to stand up and months to learn to walk again and walking is still a work in progress. I’m rowing again now, thankfully. I was told that people like me don’t really get better, even though I have no diagnosis. But since I became stable again after a few weeks there have been incremental improvements every single day and I notice and am grateful for every single one.
The mind is the most powerful thing we know of. Better that it is a friend rather than an enemy. Unfortunately, for most of us, it works against us and we don’t even realise. Many of become addicted to the drama and problems it creates.
