Too many doctors

In my search for getting better, I have been to all too many specialists. Each one has something different to say, to prescribe. I will depend on my GP much more, take his advice (he will refer me on if need be), and stop all that searching.
He said he just wants me to be as comfortable as possible. No thought of getting better or finding the "Cure". He is a realist.
I feel relieved that I no longer will conduct a search.

Find cure, make it better, fix the problem, focus all your energy and attention on that. But eventually you've tried all the things available to you, and you realise that your life has been on hold while you've gone from doctor to consultant, programme to clinic, treatment to medication to therapy. You haven't been living!
Accepting your life the way it currently is doesn't mean that you've given up. There may be medical advances in the future, maybe even a cure; you can still keep an eye out for things like that. Meanwhile, make a new life. It probably won't be like your old life, but it can be just as rich and rewarding - just different.
Your words helped me. A piece of wisdom.
