Living with Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome. How to live with Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome?

Yes, you can be happy living with MVPS/D. A friend, who didn't understand MVPS, said to me, "You can't be too bad; you're laughing." I learned that day it is okay to laugh and have chest pain, smile while you're fatigued, and have a good attitude even if you can't fulfill your dreams. Living life in whatever your bodily condition is your right. The key to happiness, as with all things, is to learn to live with whatever condition you have. If you're blind, you learn how to see with your hands, nose, and feet. With this condition, I could not be the full-time working journalist I had dreamed to be, but I could freelance, write stories when I felt up to it, take notes for possible articles. You might never accept MVPS/D (I don't want it in my body), but you can learn to live in harmony with it. You can say who's boss by doing what you need for a day. Exercise a bit, eat right, eat only a bite of chocolate, a sip of Coke, enjoy life according to your new lifestyle. Always enjoy!
