Introduction "Ad meliora - towards better things." A former nose to the grindstone perfectionist who has learned some important life lessons, thanks to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME. Much has changed, but the sense of humour is still intact, and that's what gets me through. Life is still really, really good, even with the inconveniences and frustrations of a chronic illness. Welcome to my parlour. Kick your shoes off, make yourself comfortable, and I hope that you'll enjoy your visit.
