I am in my 2nd year of diagnosis of... something. They have mentioned POTS as a possibility but they are not sure yet. While I am not suffering near to the extent of you, I feel there is much I can learn from you. I will definitely be checking out your other blog. I, too, am trying to keep a rosy attitude but, you inspire me. So happy Saturday Sharefest. I feel so blessed that you posted a moment before I did.<br />:-)Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14266639444882900212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118510785451249376.post-183866051134735982010-02-11T23:54:19.477-05:002010-02-11T23:54:19.477-05:00I'll tell you what, I will never complain abou...I'll tell you what, I will never complain about my feet swelling again.

That's probably so exciting for you :D<br /><br />I was very surprised to see that you also suffer from a chronic illness, and an autonomic nervous one at that! I have Lyme Disease and it hit me in my autonomic nervous system so I have issues walking at times-I call it sporadic paralysis because there really isn't any other way to explain it.<br /><br />I was also diagnosed with POTS, so I definitely understand that situation >.<<br /><br />Your not alone with your 'invisible' illness like so many have refereed to it before. Of course I don't know exactly what your going through, I can appreciate your situation!<br /><br />Love and Energies to you.<br />KaylaAdaptable Kay https://www.blogger.com/profile/12057573235257128211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118510785451249376.post-23028208616064176102010-02-10T15:22:26.880-05:002010-02-10T15:22:26.880-05:00What a challenge.
