Allison, thanks for this information. I will look into it and possibly share it in a new post. Glad you were able to find work that you can manage with your disability. I hope this helps others do the same.

Yes your words were very inspirational! I wanted to share with everyone, if I may, a resource for those that are in need of career opportunities. I’m suffering with a chronic disability that caused me to lose my job. I started working for a company specializing in part time home based work for those who are disabled. I wanted to share their information in case it applies to any of the readers.
The J.Lodge Corporation, a quality call services company, has sustained profitability since 1999 and accredits its success solely to its unique employee model that consists of disabled business Americans. J.Lodge is striving to provide work from home part-time careers for disabled Americans. Currently, J.Lodge is expanding and accepting applications for those individuals who are interested in our company and who qualify for our positions.

[...] It is remarkable to me the quality of people who develop Fibromyalgia and chronic illness. In fact I wrote a post on my Everyday Health blog with each person I know with FM in mind. I would love for you to read it. I think you may see yourself described there. Take a look and tell me what you think: Remember Who You Are [...]

“You are much, much more than your illness.” Somedays I need to be reminded of that. Thank you!

Thank you all for your lovely comments. I am so touched by them all.

This post, far and away, received the most one-day views of all the post I have written. It was tweeted and re-tweeted many times on Twitter. And re-posted on several other blogs. What does that say to you?

To me, it says we need inspiration. We need validation. We need to be reminded that we are awesome, and that we are so much more than our diagnosis.

I am so happy that for one day my blog could do this for you. Thank you for letting me be the voice to remind you how amazing you are.
