"When something of an affliction happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it."
- Rousseau
Or you learn to work around the obstacle. If it is an incurable disease like M.S. that is ongoing and causes systematically more disability, you need to get creative and you need to do some research into how other people are managing the disease .
A positive attitude is important to adapting and thriving, in spite of experiencing some down days because of the disease.
Leave the cure to the scientists and manage your life with the attitude that you can deal with the problems created by the disease.
You will probably need to give up some activities,like the balance beam (LOL) and other athletic pursuits that require balance, strength or require being on your feet for too long.
Focus on what you can still do, not on what you have lost.
