But I am not suggesting that patients suffer more or less depending on attitude. Though I hope I don´t blog about it very often, I do have days when the couch is the only option so I assume I am just lucky that most of my days are better than that. It´s probably like pregnancies. My first wasn´t too bad, but the third felt like nine years for several reasons.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-71372313804709389252011-04-24T08:29:43.984+01:002011-04-24T08:29:43.984+01:00Harvee: perhaps not so much, but I assume it will ...Harvee: perhaps not so much, but I assume it will make the readers THINK about CFS. <br /><br />Clarissa: it probably happens to many. <br /><br />Barbara: I had to check what COPD was. I know that many CFS patients cannot work, but I agree that the woman here seems to be extremely isolated from her former life. <br /><br />Tracy: you are right about myths, and that was one of the reasons why I chose to mention this side of "Falling Off Air". <br /><br />Rosana: I think I have more in common with your sister than with Lorna here. Fortunately my children were almost grown-ups when I got ill.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-9365031758485475472011-04-23T21:04:04.559+01:002011-04-23T21:04:04.559+01:00I know many illnesses can present in varying degre...I know many illnesses can present in varying degrees and I certainly don't want to minimize anyone's suffering, however... don't you think sometimes a lot depends on attitude?

Having two teenagers doesn't make it easy, but she's a positive person which helps.

Not a condition I know a lot about but there does seem to be lots of myths surrounding it - maybes because we largely unaware of its effects?Felicity Grace Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852843882007267665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-75012697241216288992011-04-23T14:49:38.173+01:002011-04-23T14:49:38.173+01:00I can relate to the fatigue problem since that'...I can relate to the fatigue problem since that's the hardest thing to cope with now that I have COPD.

I'm not sure this novel is my cuppa, either, but it is really interesting to see how an author depicts something like CFS versus what it's like in real life...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-55147275216761968172011-04-23T12:19:59.529+01:002011-04-23T12:19:59.529+01:00Hummm.
