Defining Progress in Severe M.E.: Part One -Breathing Issue
I recently skim read, Toxic Bedrooms, by Walter Bader which I received for free from LifeKind. They are the company I am planning on buying my organic mattress from. I am currently in the testing phase to make sure that I will not have breathing problems as a result of the organic materials they use. In addition, they have me checking to make sure I can also handle all the products together without breathing issues (you put all the samples …
A Little Sugar …
What is that old saying? A little sugar helps the medicine go down. Do you remember that saying? Well, I thought I would post something as far away as possible to chronic illness, relapses, crashes, pain, eye, head, vocal chords, muscles, isolation, M.E. grief, lost … all of it.

Dealing with Life’s In Between Chapters
This is my new column. Enjoy! Sometimes in life’s journey, we find ourselves living between two chapters, struggling with not returning to the chapter behind us, yet unsure of how, or when, to move forward and step into the next chapter that lays head of us. This transitional place is often challenging as it is not our normal, and very often forces us out of our comfort zone. For those of us who live with an illness – especially an …
“Voices in the Dark”
As I lay here in the stillness of the dark, I cock my head slightly to the left, listening to the varied sounds that surround me like my favorite soft, chenille blanket.
