I just wanted to “pop” back in and say I am incredibly happy right now. I will explain the story as soon as I can do so – this has been a LONG day and yesterday was a LONG day … I will fill yinz in but I don’t want to rush any of it and I am undoubtedly unconsciously exhausted. At any rate, I hope you all have a night (or day!) as wonderful as the one I had today (things could be MORE wonderful, but that’s a conversation that has begun elsewhere on this blog and will continue along other lines!) and I am wishing you happiness and health wherever you are in the world! I wish I could make any of what’s going on in my head/mind/heart make any sense but I cannot … I genuinely believe time will reveal what it has in store regarding all of that. BUT, for tonight, I am taking my own advice and celebrating the little bit of peace of mind and security I have and I am taking some time just to be grateful for the things I DO have. I hope you do the same – it really can do wonders to every part of your life the way exuding an air of confidence does – and so many of us with chronic disease just need a second to breathe and to FEEL GOOD. So with that, please just say a little “prayer” of thanks for whatever it is you might be thankful for and know that my heart is ALWAYS with YOU! I will be back tomorrow 😉
❤ Always, Beth

I have been living with chronic illness since I was 2 months old. My first "formal" chronic illness diagnosis was Behçet's Disease - I was 17 at the time. I was later diagnosed with Common Variable Immune Deficiency (I more or less led the doctors to that diagnosis - that story is for another time!) and those have been my "primary" two illnesses. I have many other "secondary" diagnoses such as seronegative Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chiari 1 Malformation (a result, I believe, of the Behçet's causing aseptic meningitis time and again since it had never appeared in brain scans before I was about 24-25), osteoporosis, compression fractures of the thoracic spine, and many others. I know what it is like to feel as if you have lost years of your life that you can never recover from illness and the many restrictions it places upon you in your everyday life. I just want you to know that I know what it is like and I have been there through every period of my life - you are NOT ALONE! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you ever need someone to talk with or someone just to listen to you - I am always here! Thank you for taking the time to read this and my other posts and I hope you are having a happy and healthy day no matter where you are in the world! Take care.
