I have a storyline playing in my head and I'd like to write it down. But I just cant picture a happy ending.

So throwing this out for your input, please tell me about your experiences finding and keeping love after CFS

My husband is the type of person who reaches out to others in need. When we met, he did not know that I was ill, but he sensed that I was very unhappy and wanted to help. The short version, we were married three months later. That was 30 years ago.

It's a hard call with CFS to think of young people getting this illness and trying to date or even think of handling the responsibilities that go with relationships and marriage! CHILDREN! Goodness!

I am thankful that I did not have to go through this, I was married for five years before being stricken with CFS/ME. My husband had to watch me fall apart and we both thought I was dying. He's a good man. He loves me. He takes his wedding vows very seriously! He has stood by my side and been supportive of me for the last eight years. He does everything he can to help around the house....basically, he just does everything he can!!

NOTE: Three months after our marriage, he got lung cancer. We thought HE was going to die. He had two surgeries and a lung removed. So we started off, with him getting cancer. He recovered and I got sick with CFS. One or the other of us has been caretaking for years. We know how to do it. We love each other. It was a happy beginning.....and it will be a happy life for as long a time as we are blessed to have each other.. Love conquers all....faith is key. Hope is essential. I'm a very happy woman. I'm sick, oh yea! But I'm a very happy woman! xoxo

Two years after being diagnosed with CFS I met and married my husband. I never thought that would happen. I've met other women who have had the same thing happen.
