About Me
In 2003 I was diagnosed with a major chronic illness that has changed my life. Now I can say it’s for the better. At first I was miserable, but not any more. I still have my bad days but I hope to help others from what I’ve learned.
My chronic illnesses are: Ulcerative Colitis, Myasthenia Gravis, Fibromyalgia, Sjogren’s Syndrome, Anemia, Mitral Valve Prolapse and Rhuematoid Arthritis. Most are autoimmune diseases that run in my family. I’m known as the Autoimmune Queen.
My goal in life is to be an advocate for people with disABILITIES of any kind by doing all I can to be sure that people are judged by who they are and not what they can’t do. Let’s get the word out - being chronically ill doesn’t mean you look sick!
I love to eat, to go to Disney World, to be with my family and my church and to volunteer. And now I love to blog. Join me on my adventure - My Chronic Life.
I’ll be writing about health issues, chronic illnesses, medical equipment and supplies and offering support with a bit of humor on the side.

My fiance has Mixed Connective Tissue Disease which is a mixture of several Rheumatoid arthritis related diseases. Like you, she is a tough lady and refuses to let it get her down. It is good to meet someone like you who is looking to make a difference in other peoples lives to help them to have a better quality of life. In the midst of our pain, we can make a difference. When we are weak, He is strong!

Dear Webmaster,
I hope you are doing well. I came across your site http://mychroniclife.com/ while doing some browsing. I must say, you have done remarkable work there. The content on your site is somewhat related to the subject of my sites. I am hereby offering to buy text-links on your site.

Waiting to hear from you,

I got here through Blog365 and I really admire your courage
God bless you
I came across this by chance and, honestly, I’m really impressed by everything you’ve written. I’m fairly new to MG, it’s been a little over a year for me, and I’ve looked through everything you’ve said with admiration and hope for myself. Thank you for everything you’ve said, even if it doesn’t feel like you’ve said much. You have.

You might be interested in listening to the comments of a 13 year old boy with Asperger Syndrome about his recent diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis.
While the podcast entitled “Special Feature Interview with Douglas Giesel and An Update Interview with Lewis Schofield” is mostly autism-based, Lewis does comment on his MG. His words are very inspirational.
