I found out about the syringomyelia 3 weeks after an 8 year relationship broke down (she cheated) and my business was failing.
4 years later I'm in a happy relationship with the woman I want to spend my life with, I have a job I love with people I like and the business is a distant memory.
Taught me a valuable lesson, not giving up is more important than pretty much anything else.
Found out 6mths ago I also have Crohns, just shrugged and carried on, life is full of shit you can't control so focus on the things you can - mainly your reaction to events.

Sounds like you've gained a lot of wisdom through those experiences. I wouldn't wish those conditions on anyone, but it sounds like you've come out better anyway. All the best.

- noir_lord 8y agoVery much so.
