MISERY'S COMPANY

"Misery loves company" – at least that’s how the old adage goes.   At one point in time, I’m not sure I really understood such a gloomy sentiment.  Then, I got sick….(again and AGAIN)…and for a really long time.    It was then that I finally understood what it truly means  to feel miserable – to experience a true level of misery.  And with that misery, came this strange compulsion to start a blog.

As for my reason to blog, I've come to believe that along with physical symptoms, chronic illness provides a bevy of mental & emotional bullshit to work through.  The very act of being chronically ill can tend to make most people feel lonely, isolated, misunderstood, and just a little depressed...or often times -  A LOT depressed.
