At first, it seemed I was just another busy wife, mother, and nurse.
Until something changed. With my energy levels at an all-time low, the ability to perform tasks I once took for granted became almost impossible.
In crisis, my body decreed it could not and would not continue to support me—it was time to stop.
Then came the diagnosis—Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome—that tilted my world off its axis, leaving me with no other choice but to accept what fate had thrown at me.
From the frightening loss of strength in my legs, increased pain when walking, and the horror of finding myself bedbound, I became a shadow of my former self.
Too exhausted to speak, feed myself, or find the words hidden in the fog clouding my mind, I clung onto hope—of rediscovering myself, by learning to listen to the wisdom of my body and slowly adopting methods to support my health, desperate to reclaim the ability to love and live life again.
FULL CIRCLE charts my journey from the depths of despair, to recovery, and finally re-discovering who I truly was.
