Chronic Hope


Why "chronic hope" ? The Free Merriam-Webster dictionary defines chronic as " marked by long duration or frequent recurrence". I named this blog Chronic Hope as it is my intention that this will be a place where hope, encouragement, compassion and understanding will be the heart of this site.

This is a place for people in all parts of the journey of life.

A short break

Hello everyone,


I apologize for not posting earlier today.  Recently I've started a series of IV Iron treatments in hopes of increasing my iron stores in my bones (depleted most likely by the Celiac's) and in hopes of decreasing my fatigue. I've had 2 of 6 treatments, and the reaction to the IV the week following the treatment is not easy for my system, although I hear that after 3 or 4 it gets much better. 


In any case, I've had several pretty difficult days in a row and while I"m hoping to feel better soon, I need to take a break from posting for a couple of days. You all know that, while you can keep going on some level most of the time, there are also times when you feel so rotten you have to just take it easy for a bit. I'm at that point.


My hope is to be posting again by the weekend...and then we'll take it as we take all of our days in this chronic illness wilderness....one day at a time.  Thanks for your understanding and patience.  Please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers, even when I'm unable to post.


see you soon~
peace,
Andrea
