I absolutely love the ...This is so heartwarming. <br /><br />I absolutely love the strong message of "different is beautiful"...not everyone understands this and I am such a strong advocate for spreading the message, and now of your message. I instantly connected to your story, my Dad also calls me "Sweetpea"!<br /><br />What a special little Princess you have. I wish you all the happiness in the wide world, continued strength, and support from all who hear your story.<br /><br />All my best wishes,<br /><br />Veronica Blair of Tickling Dragon TheatreAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998381492164676499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-85687617578991067992016-07-10T10:37:12.470-04:002016-07-10T10:37:12.470-04:00I'm a 50 year old former family doctor with ch...I'm a 50 year old former family doctor with chronic fatigue x 20 years and I've been following your blog for over a year now. I so appreciate the invisibility of my own illness and so understand these issues of the visibilities that we can't control. <br /><br />I have had to make some very drastic and extreme dietary changes in recent years and have been noticing just how much I'd rather not have certain things more visible than necessary because I just don't want to talk about them sometimes - especially to people who might have a reaction or judgment (which requires extra explaining or extra work to not let it affect me). And especially at times like right now when we are in the middle of buying a new place and selling our old one and I am extra tired. As such, I don't have the margin to want to talk about it. When I'm more tired (or want to play and not be interrupted or to not think about this part of my life while I enjoy something else) I cope less well with the fact of having had to eat in a very limited way and feel more of the frustration / despair / extremity of these changes and the loss of normalcy. <br /><br />At times like these it might be really hard to have to answer questions. And while I appreciate these options for their help in reducing certain symptoms, talking about it makes me long for eating things I so love and enjoy.<br /><br />Wishing you guys continued love and support and couragin in finding new ways to keep working this chronic illness thing!<br /><br />Best, VeroniqueAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16912522446654352647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-58262758012573503982016-07-09T16:02:36.254-04:002016-07-09T16:02:36.254-04:00You are doing great!!
