I totally hear you. I don't want to sound too falsely optimistic, or trivialise the things your talking about (I really *do* get it). But as you said, it takes guts to get up each day and face stuff when we feel as crap as we feel, what with the post-viral yuck, the fatigue, the people who just don't get it no matter how many times we explain, the people who are flat-out hostile, and all the other crap. That's a bigger achievement for us than for the people who have it easier to start off with -- the people who don't have pain or fatigue, or don't have to do the explaining over and over and over again, the people who don't get the random hostility. So while it's definitely a "biggest challenge" to keep on keepin' on, I also think, if we're fair to ourselves, it counts as a "best of" too, at least in my personal scheme of things. Take care of yourself, ok? I'm back in Scotland in January -- maybe we can have a cuppa. --IP I hear you. I totally hear you.
