Pacing my activities and controlling pain and fatigue is somedays ok, somedays not. ~lottie
Lottie, what parts of Italy are you visiting? I very much want to go to Italy. My Grandfather is from Santa Caterina in Calabria--southern Italy. A mountain village 2200 feet up, over looking the mediterranean. My wife has RSD and your experience may help us make the trip.

Places I'd like to visit is--(south to north) Greek temples in central Sicily, Santa Caterina. Tropea, pompeii and herculaneum, Rome-----oh hell, the whole country.

Have a great trip!!!

This very VERY inspiring!! I am soooo glad you went out and took a risk!!!

I know it might take longer to do things, and you might miss out on some other things, and when you get home it will be a time for recovery......But!

There is nothing that can take away that feeling of accomplishment!! You will have some cherished memories forever!! Plus.....the best part! It wont be as hard the next trip to where ever your heart leads you!!!

Ecstatic that you are living life on your terms!!
