I’ve talked about this subject before but it is something that comes up so often in conversations, I think it’s worth writing about again.  One of the big phenomenons surrounding ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia is the fact that we can look so healthy – so normal – but yet be so disabled and feel so crappy.  Our looks don’t... [Continue Reading]
