Accepting I can't do everything I wanted to do.
Strong painkillers so I can do some things.
Acceptance, finally, by doctors and diagnoses.
Having the courage, finally, to reject graded exercise, ie pushing myself a bit more each day - it's the worst thing for CFS and fibromyalgia.
Knowing I can push through if I really want to do some thing as long as I plan 'bed days' after to recover.

I still get some nurses shocked by the fact that I have prescribed opioids but my doctors are happy to prescribe them. And I'm one of the lucky ones genetically, so I dont get addicted.
