Rivka, Thank you for reaching out with such authenticity. Our stories need to be told. The men and women I have met challenged by ME/CFS are intellegent dynamic individuals who have been snuffed out of life as we once knew it. All our dreams and plans put on hold and replaced with the struggles of existing from moment to moment. The amount of courage, inner strength, and sheer determination needed to face each moment of each day is highly commendable in each one of us. Especially, in the face of a medical and public society that has refused to see us. This is an illness that for many of us has caused significant social, physical and cognitive isolation.
