My criteria qualified for 100% rating alone. Believe me you can&#39;t manage the vertigo because it just comes on unexpectedly you just have to deal with it. <br /><br />Peace! SSgt Harvey "Skip" Porter Mon, 20 Nov 2017 22:50:46 -0500 2017-11-20T22:50:46-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/if-you-have-a-chronic-condition-how-do-you-manage-it-with-the-hustle-bustle-of-the-holiday-season?n=3108187&urlhash=3108187 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I get panic attacks, not horribly bad and most times manageable. This time of year, I only go to stores that I am comfortable in, and during non-busy times. Like I said, mine is mild to some I know, but my point is know what triggers whatever chronic issue you have and either manage or avoid the triggers.

I may go to a thanksgiving dinner, but, if I do, I don&#39;t stay especially long. I also don&#39;t much like christmas; I never really have. Sometimes my family likes to get together for it; depending on my mood I may or may not show up. Frankly, to me, the holidays are just another day on the calendar. I don&#39;t stress myself out to try and buy stupid crap for everyone that I know and I certainly will not go completely out of my way attempting to please people. If I want to participate I will, but if I&#39;m not in the mood for the b&#39;s, then I&#39;ll stay home and enjoy my comfortable, quiet, and relaxing solitude.
