Reply To: What do you do to make life easier?

I love all the other suggestions. The one’s I would add would be naps if you can get them (especially afternoon). The more you push yourself at night, the longer the recovery time.

Once you get past the physical stuff, the mental stuff was harder for me. Once I got past the chronic nature of CIDP, and realized what I would not do again, and got depressed about what I had and why it happened to me etc, etc. I realized that my mental health was as important as my physical health.

I do a lot of things to keep me feeling better. I treat myself to a movie noe and again. I take the time to read books. I try to listen to music, I should do better with that one. I don’t argue with my spouse as much, it isn’t important. My faith is stronger. My outlook is something that I can control, but there was a time when it controlled me. I suffered from that.

Good luck,
