15 Years of BFS: From Panic to Calm

[Chickaboo54]

Ladies and Gentleman I got BFS 15 years ago after a viral infection when my immune system went a bit cranky. This is first time I've been back to tis site in 1.5 years because I've stopped worrying about it a long long time ago, I've pretty much had BFS on and off for 15 years. First few years were hell, but ALL of it was unessary just due to worry and fretting and panicking etc etc, the usual boring stuff. So 15 years down the road........ I'm still ok, got some pretty big twitches right now but who cares! I hold down a very stressful sales job, father to 2 gorgeous children, husband to 1 wife (thats enough for any man). My point to you all is this: DONT LIVE YOUR LIFE IN THE FUTURE. If you look at what the majority of you have today you're still a long way ahead of a few 100 million else where on the planet. Try focusing on today and living in the moment. You'll find as if by magic all those what ifs and uncertainties will disappear. After all, all you have is right now, can anyone here promise me that they'll be here next year, next month, next week, tommorow? The most important thing you can do is take control of your thinking, everything else after that is easy. Oh and red wine is good too, take care Max

Cool post. A great help to many to hear from the "survivors" of this benign condition. Good perspectives for all of us to a) to consider time as the greatest diagnostician b) life is for the living not the worrying about c) being mindful about how lucky we are compared to many.

Have you found anything non-alcoholic that helps over the years and how old were you?
