Hi Jody,
You're becoming famous now, or even more so! The Sth Australian ME/CFS site liked your article too. I think EmpowHer should start paying their star a higher rate...
Jody, I also want to add my thanks for your article. It comes at a really good time for me; I am making slow and labyrinthine progress, and each time I go into the pit again (where I am now) it's hard not to feel as if it's forever. I get to where I tell myself NOT to hope, because I don't want to go through the whole cycle of hope and despair. But I have a feeling you're right. Just because I'm sick doesn't mean I have to be cowardly.
