I can't seem to post without getting the quote passage-sorry. I too get tired of people coming up to me and saying, 'You look good" when I actually feel absolutely horrible. That is why it is nice to have posts like this so discussion isn't so difficult. lso, my partner of 9 years is very healthy and it is hard to be around her sometimes. I really hate to say that, but I am jealous that she can get up and go to work every day and live a "normal" healthy life. I have been disabled since 1998, and had to leave a job I enjoyed and worked 12+ hours daily!! My life is changed and somehow I have to learn to live with it. Sometimes I just try to find the smallest glimmer of hope even for just one moment to get me through the day. My symptoms are in full force right now and it is hard. I can't even get out to see a movie. I am grateful to have today and people like you to get me through. Keep posting and take care. Diane
