♥️ What a crazy long journey it has been for you. Please don’t feel you need to justify the impact your illness has had compared to other serious illnesses. Every serious illness is a unique lived experience. I wish none of us ever had to have these experiences but sharing how you are living through can bring hope. ♥️

Thanks so much for watching, and sharing your thoughts ❤ You are right! I spent years explaining and justifying why I can't do something or attend some event, felt like I was letting people down. When really I was just taking care of myself. Every experience is unique and deserves to be understood. I do hope that my story will inspire others to believe they can improve and enjoy life again.
