I'm asthmatic. Nearly every day I have to take a hit of some very powerful controller medication, and this seems to be the pattern for the rest of my life. There is a qualitative difference between sitting on the days that I take my meds and the days that I don't. However, I like breathing and do it several times a day. I feel rather badly when I don't. So, on days when I'm clear and med free, I sit with that. On days when I'm cloudy and on meds, I sit with that. How can your practice be invalid?
As Rev. (Bro?) Fugen says, "you're ok, perfect even, just as you are." To paraphrase Jundo, we sit with our sickness, whole and complete, even as we go through treatment to get better.
