About Me
12/31/07 marks 22 yrs. of CFIDS/ME, and I am very tired of having this illness. My breathing has been effected b/c of the chronic and progressive nature of this disease. When breathing is worsened, thinking is cut and living becomes impossible. Every day is a challenge. Some days are just more of a challenge than others. When I was 21, I had a defining existential moment. I saw myself as able to do absolutely anything in the world. And. I did. Traveled the world. Executed dream after dream. Lived for learning. For the country. The deeper in the woods, the more alive I was. I still cannot exist unless I am deep w/i the woods. But now, I'm existing by a different defining moment: I cannot do anything. I am too bone-breaking tired, I have trouble breathing and I don't have a brain.

Open Vegetarians & Vegans
Type: VegetarianVegetarian for 30 yrs. 1/1/07 felt so weak, eating the best of the best wasn't helping enough so began to eat organic salmon, chicken and turkey.
