Although I'm trailing behind you in the coping journey (I fell ill with ME/CFS in June 2011), your post perfectly explains how I feel about being blindsided with a chronic illness. It had such an innocent onset, with symptoms not unlike many other flus I'd had in the past. This one just never went away. Looking back on that day, and the day before--my last healthy day--I have a very strange mix of emotions. But mostly, I try not to dwell on it too much. <br /><br />I hope you are doing well. I always enjoy the updates on how you and your family are getting along. Patrick W.

For me it just built up over time until I realised something wasn't right.<br /><br />It's a good point you made about having a "new normal". We've just got to get on with living our lives and not just sit on the couch in a swirl of guilt and self-pity.<br /><br />I try to get something done every day even if it's just learning something new, so I can feel some sense of accomplishment and progress.Jeffhttp://battlingcfs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-70636444789429233292013-03-04T00:20:30.692-05:002013-03-04T00:20:30.692-05:00I still remember the day, but not date, of when I ...I still remember the day, but not date, of when I could no longer do a simple walk...and thinking...what is going on? I still many days still feel like that despite so many doctors, so much new info confirming what i "know" - i am sick...and yes finally coming to some terms with it...thanks for sharing Sue. <br />Amazing all you do with in the "new" life...xo HDhkdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606859927429573387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-14494657651979646332013-03-03T08:26:10.802-05:002013-03-03T08:26:10.802-05:00Aw, thanks NTE, for such kind words!

Not nice to look back on, but doing so we can see our progress! <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03566660359682513818noreply@blogger.com
