What I Want CFS-Squared To Be

It’s theme day at the b5media science and health channel. This month, Heather at Lively Women will be hosting the round up. Please check out her blog, it’s a really great one. For this month’s theme we are to write a mission statement for our blog.
When I started writing this blog (way back in June), I thought that my blog would be about this:
On this blog, I intend to discuss new and tried treatments, all CFS related topics (ie insurance and stuff), my own journey with this illness. I plan on having a lot of fun along the way. While CFS can be a real hassle to deal with everyday; there is no reason why, we can’t get down and boogie every once in a while.
Now that I have been writing for a few months, I am realizing that I don’t really write much about what I thought I would. So it appears that I need to update my original mission statement (if you want to call it that). So here is take 2.
CFS Squared, is a place where support for patients of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, is first and foremost. Where wellness is explored through alternative therapies and lifestyle changes, rather than through medication (although that is sometimes touched upon). While most of the information given is based on my own recovery from CFS, bits of news and information creep in there now and again.
As an addendum to this post, I invite you (the readers) to give me some feedback- (the good, the bad, and the ugly), on what you think about this blog so far.
CFS is an incredibly complicated and perplexing disease. Thank you for being here to help people understand it!
Thanks for being transparent enough to share your trials with this disease and helping to encourage others who live with it as well.
And thanks for joining in with our channel Theme Day!

Thanks you guys!!!
being transparent….thats a good thing, right?
Hello Laura,
I have only just happened upon you blog, and it looks excellent. Having had CFS for nearly three years I too have decided to share my thoughts and feelings about living with the illness (‘Chronic Fatigue Journal’: http://chronicfatiguejournal.blogspot.com/). Over time I will read through your blog. It helps, somehow, not to struggle in isolation. Thanks ~ Colin
PS I will add a link to your blog in the very near future.
Hi Colin,
Thanks for the really nice comment. I find that blogging helps me release, when I am having a bad day; and allows me to encourage others when I am feeling good.
I am going to add you to my blogroll righr now
