I hope you all (US or otherwise!) had a happy THANKSGIVING (I do not like to “celebrate” the traditional “idea” behind “Thanksgiving” but I do appreciate the idea of dedicating a day to be thankful … and for that I am thankful!) and are having a happy and healthy December. We are currently getting slammed with some nasty weather.
I just wanted to pop in quickly and say “hello!” and say that I hope you are all having a better time in general than I am. I am having some very severe panic attacks that just hit and hit and hit … and the random nightmares have started again … they scare me so badly but I cannot seem to remember what they are about when I wake up.
It has not been an easy week for me. This is a tough time of year for me for some reason. I also want to talk about the difference perspective makes in general, so please LOOK FORWARD to that! I hope you are all doing well and I will be back soon soon soon!
❤ 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.
