I am not a Victim (if I remember correctly!)

The previous post may have you think that I am a victim or picture myself that way. On the contrary, the disease has shaped my character beyond what would have happened without it. Do I wish I was rid of it - of course, any one would. Would I trade it - tough question - I don't like giving up 8 years of my life to it, but I have learned much and as the video talks about, the internal struggle is the crux of the matter. I personally believe God sees, and has allowed me to experience this for good. That one took a while to come to - the intellectual knowledge is easy, but really believing it, that took some time. I would not have the compassion I have today were it not for CFIDS. At the risk of gettng preachy, everything has a silver lining. Damn hard to find though.
