In this edition: Why we need to reframe our ideas of a normal life, especially with chronic pain. 10 things you should know when you’re first diagnosed. A superb review and giveaway on the ‘Unlocking Lyme’ book, written by a doctor who has lyme himself. Being a caregiver for a special needs son and aging mother, despite having chronic illness, too. The freedom left behind as a chronic illness person. Why you shouldn’t give up on life. An interesting perspective – are you trying too hard to get better? Why you shouldn’t make decisions for tomorrow based on today’s pain. Is one of the eight herpes viruses responsible for your fibromyalgia and CFS? And finally, Flaredown, a free app you can use to track your symptoms.
Happy reading and have a great week ahead!
