This is so f'ing true. I have ankylosing spondylitis, and I'm in pain all the time. My attitude towards the pain is what makes this bearable. While I'm lucky that anti inflammatories and pain medicine are helpful, they aren't something that even gets close to taking the pain completely away. Your attitude towards pain, and the will to live a full and rich life besides the demons that you face are what makes all the difference. The way I look at it is that I have a demon, well most everyone out there has one or maybe several. I can still walk, I'm able to pick up my son most of the time with some effort, and I still live a mostly normal life. The lesson here is that our demons only have the power we let them have, attitude is everything.
