People with chronic and ongoing health conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and chronic pain face challenges every day.  They must manage their medical condition and still maintain their ability to do daily tasks that most people take for granted.  Difficult emotions such as frustration and anger can also accompany many chronic health problems.
When facing chronic or ongoing conditions the most important things to do are to understand the condition and respond to it by becoming a skilled self-manager on a continuous basis.
