Today I went to see my doctor. She is an amazing and compassionate woman.
(To see the heartwarming story of synchronicity about how she came to be my doctor, click

Today's news has created another life changing challenge. My immune system has attacked yet another part of my body. The symptoms started last year, but I needed to go through a series of tests to see if it was going to be temporary, or permanent. I am so upset about the news that I am not sure how to even write about it. Now, some of the muscles in my digestive tract are paralyzed. This is not going to go away, and there aren't many options for treatment at this point.
Time for what my daughter calls "A Reality Adjustment".
I did give my doctor a paper about the Whittmore-Peterson Institute's findings on XMRV and it's possible connection to ME/CFIDS. She is going to start the process for her medical group to get patients tested for XMRV. I am so grateful to have a caring , compassionate doctor who listens.
After reading your profile, I thought you might be interested in this group: wynnfree@gmail.com and www.messageaday.net We basically meditate together with an online conference call several times a week and do other stuff it seems you might be interested in. I also have ME/CFIDS. That you have a compassionate doctor and she is willing to get XMRV testing going is just incredibly good news! Best wishes.
