About the Book:
Living with a chronic illness is life changing. If you have found your way to this page, you are probably suffering with fatigue and pain, or you care about someone who is chronically affected in this way, and you have a desire to understand more about your loved one’s condition.
This book shares the inside story of the journey with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) / Fibromyalgia (FM), and the constant longing to live with vitality and purpose. It is hoped that through sharing my story, with its struggles and insights, others may feel empowered in their own journey of chronic illness. This is not a book filled with detailed medical explanation about (CFS) and (FM): that is best left to the medical experts and researchers in the field, and many excellent professional sources are provided herein. The explanations of the conditions CFS/FM provided in this book are presented for understanding by lay people, patients like myself and compassionate carers and friends who wish to comprehend the impact of the condition and treatments, from a living / social perspective. Through the personal journey, Longing to Live presents an authentic story of living with a debilitative illness. Though the battles are many, the blessings are bountiful if we remain open to them, and it is in honouring the complete story of our lives that we become centred and real.
