			<description><![CDATA[Hello Joseph and welcome to our group. I'm glad you found us as we are all struggling and find support in each other. 
  
 Many of us got sick after a virus.  I have fibromyalgia as well and am in pain every day.   
  
 This is not how I envisioned living my life. It can be a very hard and lonely existe...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think we have all been where you are.  There were many times when I could not see the point in going on, not if this was all there was going to be. 
  
 It does get better.  Not a lot better, but better. 
  
 It takes time to find good coping strategies and get your bearings.  It's like being in a new...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi Joseph, welcome to the group. 
 Thanks for your 'ballsy' cut to the chase question. I've been down a very similar path to the one you describe.

			<description><![CDATA[Hang in there. We all know exactly how you feel.  I think the first year is the hardest because you aren't ready to accept the fact that you are sick.  Once you do, you can learn to deal with it.  I am some better than I was the first year but mentally I am much better.  I'm no longer panicking abou...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome. 
  
 There is truth in "not knowing how to go on."  I don't think many people here or anywhere really know what is going to happen from one day to the next.  Most people don't KNOW how, they just do...

			<description><![CDATA[It sounds like you're going through hell, joseph.  If you are living in a dysfunctional home, no wonder you doubt sometimes that you can go on.   CFS/ME assaults us on so many levels; an unsupportive or toxic family can only make it worse.  I really <a href="http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Faith" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Faith')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about Hope">hope</a> you are able to extricate yourself from your ...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Please don't give up.  Pray for help.  You will have good days and bad days.  You just have to accept it and deal with it.  There is always something to live for.  Go to visit a beautiful place, the beach, the mountain anywhere with a beautiful vista.  That is life.  That is the way life is supposed...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I didn't get CFS until I was in my 50s. I had raised three kids, worked at a job I loved, and my husband made enough so that I could be a stay-at-home mom. I had a wonderful life. 
  
 Then CFS entered my life, my kids moved all over the country, I had to quit my job, and my husband told me he didn't ...]]></description>

The the CFS hit along with serious depression, migraines, and now I have serious pain in my neck and back.  I am in pain everyday.
