I think this is an excellent read for any of us dealing with a chronic illness, be it FMS, MS, CFS, lupus or otherwise. I can tell you I am really bad about beating up on myself for all my shortcomings, to the point of despair. And I have been there recently. I don’t wish the illnesses or diseases on you that any of you out there experience, but I am grateful there are people out there who share some of the same interests and passions and who also understand something of my journey and what it’s like to walk in my shoes. We all look out for one another in our own ways, and we also have to look out after ourselves.
