Key, I think we are always a work in progress until we draw our last breath - of necessity because being human means being imperfect.
(((Glee))), pain is no fun and autoimmune diseases are a drag - I've had multiple. Somehow they all seemed to go at least partly into remission with time so I've learned to mostly go with the flow. The more I socialize and stay active, the less that stuff bothers me. Not perfect, though! I have learned not to let that define my self worth.
