I was diagnosed via a routine blood work up by my primary physician. My health was already in a degrading condition, My spine is "messed up" due to DDD and the many surgeries I had to try and correct. Wlaking and standing is a huge issue with me I have been known to fall, once I fell down the steps at a movie theater. Then I was diagnosed with CML, at first I was thinking that my life is over, My wife divorced me and this makes my evryday living a huge obsticle due to me not being able to use my back and a bad leg.
Then I thought, Dont conncentrate on the bad concentrate on the good. This helps me everyday thinking positive.
