You've Never Been Tired Like This

When a circumstance, film, or something I've read moves me to tears, I often joke that "it's helping me clear my sinuses." On some days, tears can occur because of being overwhelmed by what for others would simply be coping with some everyday details. On this day, those tears occurred when I read "I'm sick again" in Anne Urso's article You've never been tired like this in the June 2005 issue of Glamour magazine. Anne's article chronicles her experiences with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

The June 2005 issue of Glamour is the issue with Debra Messing -- of TV's Will and Grace -- on the cover; check with your local library to see if they have it in their archives. Anne's You've never been tired like this is an inspirational article, but more importantly, the author talks about the realities of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in a way that makes it the perfect article to share with those who support you in your illness as well as those who just don't get it.

Oh that everyone had a support network like Anne's....
