I've been ill for just over a year and a half now, still with no diagnosis, and I've only just started to step away from the 'I'm talking it easy so that I get better rather than worse' more towards 'I'm talking it as easy as I need to to survive today and tomorrow'. I've bought a walking stick so that I can easier drag myself around to finish up tasks, and I'm allowing myself little sleeps in the afternoon if I need to have energy in the evening. It's moving away from the childish view of being sick where you eat nothing but jelly and ice cream for a week while sat in your pajamas in bed watching TV, and on to a veiw where you get on with life, but taking extra needs into account.TamerTerrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17735485648581493238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10557263.post-84528214855464427772010-03-07T06:33:00.685+00:002010-03-07T06:33:00.685+00:00Great read--I definitely went through much of the ...Great read--I definitely went through much of the same. I still am experiencing it, as a progressive condition forces me to re-assess things from time to time. I wish I'd thought to look for blogs about disability much sooner, would have probably made my life easier to cope with.sbhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00865572337931961758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10557263.post-35313188472264932212007-06-23T23:21:00.000+01:002007-06-23T23:21:00.000+01:00WOW you are me!

I'll be referring people to this one for a long time.

Maintaining our anonymity, in the outer world as well as the blogosphere, would be possible.<BR/>It is such a magnificent re-source, for 'us' and 'them' it requires a permanent printed identity, on shelves both private and public. <BR/>Do any bloggers agree with this ?<BR/>How many bloggers have access to publishing houses? or contacts? or bottomless pits of money to do it themselves ? I am imagining a joint venture by all participating bloggers, owned by all participating bloggers.<BR/>What do you think Goldfish ? This is not a suggestion that you do it !! <BR/>This suggestion, like all my dreams, is easy sat in bed blogging on the laptop. The ideas are not impaired, just the energy to do something about it. <BR/>Exceptionally well done Goldfish.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223682934383856392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10557263.post-1146570310939056512006-05-02T12:45:00.000+01:002006-05-02T12:45:00.000+01:00I know from reading your thoughts on ouch that we ...I know from reading your thoughts on ouch that we have a similar take on illness but this post really compounds that. What a great read and thanks for BADD.

Maybe next year it should be over a week rather than just a day, reality of life with a disability being that sometimes things take longer and a day is rather a short window of time. The acronym wouldn't be as good, unfortunately - BADW isn't as snappy as BADD - but I'm sure I'm not the only one who would find a week more manageable. <BR/><BR/>Ooh, also, really excited to see my blog on your blogroll under Disabled Writers - you've made my day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10557263.post-1146516771771745542006-05-01T21:52:00.000+01:002006-05-01T21:52:00.000+01:00A great selection of art here, Goldfish.
