Overall, being diagnosed with a chronic illness, along with living with one, is a hard thing to do. But I have learned and am still learning to overcome it. Not the Marfan's, unfortunately, but rather overcoming a chronic disease's way of life. My chronic illness is my biggest weakness, but also my biggest strength. I just need to live and take advantage of all the things I have - and not worry about the things I don't have or can't do.
Chronic illnesses influences our lifestyles.
However, we control them.
