(Lovely) Blogs You Should Be Reading

This Blog was recently the recipient of the award you see to the left, gratefully received from Dominique Small, founder and author of the Blog, 4 Walls And a View.

This award was unexpected, and I’m sure, given the company, not entirely deserved. First, it is generaly given to bloggers who have much more experience than I in the blogosphere. (While I have been a professional writer/reporter for more than 20 years, I’ve only been blogging since April of this year.)

Secondly, this award is given to those who have been writing exclusively on the illnesses of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and assorted other neurological and auto-immune disorders.

Now, the recipients of the award also agree to turn around and publicize other blogs by paying it forward if you will. So here’s my list of some (Lovely) Blogs You Should Be Reading. They are chosen for different reasons, but all have a voice, a spirit, offer inspiration, or promote activism, and draw attention to needed change, or best-practices research.

Check them out and see what you think.

In no particular order:

ACTIVISM:

Campaign For A Fair Name
“ What’s in a Name?
Well, a lot, actually. Especially when speaking of an illness that affects millions of people across the globe. Thus a group of world-renowned scientists, advocates, patients and celebrities are ‘fighting the good fight’ to create a more equitable, realistic name for what the CDC years ago termed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Learn more about this important work and the upcoming vote by CFS patients right here (see Our Cause), and find out how you can help the Campaign for a Fair Name.”

LIFE’S CHALLENGES/SUCCESSES

Learning to Live with CFS (Author: Sue Jackson)

Lemon-Aide: “Squeezing the most out of life with chronic illnesses” (Author: Kerry)

Jo Blogs: “CFS Recovery is Possible” (Author: Jo)

Living the CFS Life: (Author: Shelli Proffitt Howells)

There are many additional deserving blogs, of course, and I encourage you to peruse these sites and check out some of the blogs each has listed on their sites as well, for there are a wealth of resources out there.

Until next time.

Keep the faith.
