What does it scrounging to "own" your disease?

I was talking with someone later night about a sickness I have, and their proposal was to own it. What does that mean?
Answers:    I would interpret "own your disease" as accepting the fact that you hold it so you can learn how to deal with it. Acceptance is other the first step toward empowering yourself with knowledge and coping skills. Source(s): living
Basically manner not letting it get to you. Owning it, as it you are the one who controls your life... and not let the disease dictate within any way what you can and cannot do. So not using your sickness as an excuse for anything.
