I have been walking a long and arduous journey for over 20 years now. As someone who is living with CFIDS and FMS, I have had to learn to adjust my goals, dreams and hopes in order to survive the devastating affects of these illnesses. Yet, despite that, I have discovered that beneath the exterior lays a determined spirit that will not give up. Although I spend most of my time within 'four walls and a view', I consider myself blessed beyond measure.
