Toni Bernhard has just published a piece "Should I or Shouldn’t I? The Dilemmas of Chronic Illness -Seven recurring dilemmas faced by the chronically ill"
[fright]
[/fright]These probably apply to many people who have an illness but I think they are probably particularly relevant for people with ME/CFS.
She notes "What I want, of course, is to paint and to not feel more sick, but we know from the Buddha and The Stones that you can’t always get what you want—a life-long dilemma that presents itself for my consideration every single day."
Isn't that the truth!
Are there any that you would add?
