By deciding how you are going to live with illness, you can make your goal living the best life possible under the circumstances. In doing so, you shift from a focus on what you have lost to a positive one: where you want to go and who you want to be.]]></description>

You might tell yourself things like: “If only I had taken better care of myself” or “If only I managed stress better” or “If only I had paid better attention to my body.” The truth is that no one yet knows the cause of either CFIDS or fibromyalgia.
