Grea...Hey thankyou my good buddy, very kind of you! Great words of advice as ever too - yep, every day usually has something accomplished, with every column a victory and everyone still to write a reason for keeping going! I bet you understand more than anybody how writing helps too (I urge everyone reading this to to go visit http://millheiser.com/hokeyblog/ by the way, it's a fantastic blog and one of my all-time favourites!) So agree re the flare-ups too: it's scary how much you take for granted when you're 'well' (or at least on a better day!) I hope your illness is more under control - I've always been so impressed with how you handle it, especially given all the miles you run! Thanks for taking the time to read my friend! 8>)Alan's Archiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409065548353514714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609845966536781209.post-18780496111247770882015-05-12T14:14:45.558-07:002015-05-12T14:14:45.558-07:00As a fellow sufferer of an "invisible" d...As a fellow sufferer of an "invisible" disease, I can empathize. I wish I had stronger words of encouragement, other than to say this: carve out your victories whenever and however you can, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. Even a small step forward is something. My symptoms are nowhere near as debilitating as yours, but during a flare-up the only thing I scream out for is health, for healing, for the pain to go away, to return to some semblance of normalcy, even if it means fuck-all in the long run. But I hope that you can find them along the way. Good luck to you buddy. Hokeyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142487133880638958noreply@blogger.com
