Chronic Health Ailments- How Do You Learn To Adjust/Not Let Symptoms Affect You?
Do any of you have any chronic bodily/health issues going on which you can always feel and make you more irritable?
I have ongoing non allergic sinus disease/polyps and although its mostly managed by meds I am still always have some sinus sensation of some sort all day and night. Whether its one nostril blocked, narrowing or a feeling of discomfort.
Seen ent doctors there is not much point in surgery as its the immune system at fault. It makes me feel unhealthy all the time and just wabt to get through the day and go to sleep. Theres nothing else to take medically apart from prednisone but its dangerous long term.
I am trying to find ways to be at peace/not hyperfocus on the symptoms and feel healthy
Does anyone have daily symptoms and how do you manage to ignore them?

Currently, there is no known cure so I try to ignore it and hope that it might eventually go away - keeping busy allows me not to concentrate on the noise too much. Thankfully, it does not affect my sleep.

Asthma - acquired in the last 10 years and is a da**ed nuisance and makes me ill when, as now, I get it on top of a chest infection and carry the inhalers.
I used to be so fit!
Basically - you have one life, live it and deal with it as best you can - and ignore that which does not incapacitate you, is my best advice.
Rheumatoid arthritis, and depression, also osteo arthritis
Can't ignore them but have adapted to living with the restrictions, learning good pacing helps, and focusing on the things I can do rather than the things I can't do any more.
There are things I miss ( a lot) but I have joined groups connected to my hobbies, and on good days I take a chance and do things like a bit of birding, or a bit of real world shopping.
