Hello! I’m Officially Your New Co-Leader!🥳🌻🥰

My name is Wendy, and I have been an active member on The Mighty for a few years now. This is my first time being a group leader, and I am so excited and honored to serve in this capacity.

I am a positive, vibrant person who lives with M.E./CFS, fibromyalgia, Epstein Barr Virus, hypothyroidism, and multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS). I have been sick for 20 years, but my illness progressed throughout the years, to where I could no longer work, and now it’s been five years since I worked. As you well know, living with chronic illness changes everything, but I insist on living my best life everyday and enjoying what I can!

I love movies, hanging out with family and friends, unique tasty foods, working on my YouTube Channel, gardening, rich conversations, and being creative!

I want the best for us all and wish you peace and love on your journey!🌻💞Wendy #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #Fibromyalgia #ChronicEpsteinBarrVirus #LymeDisease #MultipleChemicalSensitivity #HypothyroidismUnderactiveThyroidDisease #MentalHealth #ChronicIllness #CheckInWithMe #DistractMe

Do You Ever Get Pulled Into Someone Else’s Expectations?🤔

Hey, Spoonies! I have experienced pressure from others that I need to do a particular thing. The thing is, I didn’t want to do it! We don’t owe everyone explanations as to why we won’t be at an event, etc. I used to push through and do things anyway, but now, I don’t do anything I don’t want to do. Life is too short to live by other’s expectations! What say you?🌻 #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #Fibromyalgia #MentalHealth #MultipleChemicalSensitivity #ChronicIllness

Doing Your Hobby on a Sick Day?!😍🤔

Hey, y’all! With ME/CFS, sometimes it is hard to even do the things you enjoy.😩 But part of living our best lives is to insert fun things that add to our overall quality of life.

In this gardening video I feel rough but carryon anyway. This is not to say that I always push through or that I don’t have bed days. This is just a day in my life.

Gardening and creating videos helps me to feel like I’m contributing to the world and gives me purpose. I invite you to SUBSCRIBE 🥳 to my YouTube Channel to see glimpses of how I live my best life with chronic illness! What are some hobbies you enjoy? ❤️🌻Wendy

Live! RIGHT NOW!🌻 #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MultipleChemicalSensitivity #Fibromyalgia #ChronicIllness #MentalHealth

Living in the moment is sometimes a challenge for me. I tend to think about what will happen in the future if I decide to…. Well, I am determined to live and enjoy my life for NOW! When those anxious thoughts creep in about what will happen in the future or what people will say, I will remember that I do not have tomorrow and to make good decisions for myself for today! Do you struggle with living in the NOW? 🌻🧡

Has anyone with a disability lived in a prefabricated home or double wide trailer? Good? Bad?

Has anyone in America lived in a prefabricated home/double wide trailer/manufactured home? (I’m not sure if they have them in other countries, but if they do, please share your experience too!)
I need to buy a house. But I might only be able to afford one of these type of homes.
Have any of you Mighty disabled folks bought one? What was your experience like? Do you regret it? How is it specifically with regards to disability and illness? Also any insight with regards to mold? I have mold toxicity and am extra sensitive.
