I have been meaning to blog for a few years now.  However, taking care of my mother became my primary focus as she was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2012 and died 9 months ago.  Under the stress and heartbreak of all of this, my own health has deteriorated quite a bit and it has been discovered that I have a form of dysautonomia (autonomic nervous system dysfunction) known as Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.  This is common in ME/CFS/ Fibo patients.  As I write this I have a pounding headache and tremendous brain fog but I don’t care.  I’m happy to just be writing and want to share my journey towards reclaiming my health and my life and all that I have learned along the way. I don’t have any preconceived notions about exactly how this will go but I promise to be honest and open with wherever I am at, whatever I am experiencing, and whatever I am learning as I take steps every day.  I have lived long enough with chronic illness to know that the path to wellness will not be linear and that there will be challenges and setbacks.  However, I know I will persevere and I fully believe I can achieve greater health and happiness.  I look forward to sharing more soon.
