What some people don't realize is that the driving force behind me sharing the good, the bad and the ugly of my daily challenges with chronic illness is not to garner attention, sympathy or even support. Mostly, it's about integrity and the desire to feel connected to those I care about.
Watering down or spinning my situation to make it seem minor when in truth it profoundly impacts my life would basically be trying to sell a lie. Losing your health shouldn't mean you have to lose your character...
