If I am being honest, this is something that I struggle with. The best advice I can give, and also try to take for myself, is to accept your life for what it is. This is who we are; our HAE does not have to define us, but it is a part of us, and we need to be able to accept that. It’s very easy to get down on yourself, especially after an attack, on feeling like this isn’t fair. But, it is who we are, and it’s not going anywhere. It’s not easy to live a normal, happy life struggling with the difficulties of HAE, but what is the alternative? This is the one life we get, and although it may not be as ideal as you’d like, it’s still your life. We need to find a way to become more than just our HAE.
