I'm happy to identify as disabled although I usually add 'and chronically ill' because it gives more info - lots of disabled people aren't ill....
Ooo, I'm in the middle of listening to the audio book of this! :):):)
I love this blog.
It's heartbreaking. From what I've picked up, these healers became popular because they seemed to listen, care and understand when others didn't....
I find the Better spray really good too. I took expensive tablets and didn't make a difference but with the spray I would say that it *might* stop...
