We all know that sharing with someone about Costochondritis is a challenge. Or learning about an illness that someone esle has isn't easy either.
So when you share with others about your condition, give them the grace that you would want in return....and send them The Spoon Theory. =)
So whether you need help sharing about your life with Costo, or want to understand someone with Costo or another disease...check out this beautiful piece of writing by Christine Miserandino....made me cry.
I completely understand what Christine is trying to say. It seems so much easier to tell my mom I feel fine, to put her heart at ease to know that I'm okay.
I'm a professional theater actress and Christian singer. I've had Costochondritis since October 31st, 2006. On March 10, 2010, I found out the reason for all my pain, numbness and tingling, headaches, low energy, costochondritis, and other weird symptoms, it's Celiac Disease! So now I'm on the road to recovery!
To those seeking healing, this blog is all about coping with Costochondritis, packed with information that I hope blesses you in some way. So take some time to dig through the craziness and read the comments, good stuff. I no longer write on this blog, but I pray you find some answers here!
