Hello.

I have wanted to start this blog for a while now, so here it finally goes.  My hope is to post at least a few times a week for starters and hopefully get some good discussions going.  As my screen and page name suggest I am chronically ill and finding the energy to actually blog is difficult, but going to give this a try.

About me... My name is Jeff Seleb.  I am 45 and live with my husband in Chicago, where I grew up.  I had a good career going for a number of years until about 4 years ago when my earlier neck injury began deteriorating significantly and a diagnosis of Lupus, Sjogren's and chronic fatigue.  I am a chronic pain patient as well.  Unfortunately that is not the full extent of my illness.  All of this together and more has prevented me from working and not accomplishing a whole lot more.

So, what kind of blog will this be?

Besides a place to discuss chronic illness, I am a Geographer by education.  So, anything to do with illness, Geography, travel and just about anything that can drum up a great discussion is great with me.  So, I hope many of you do visit and contribute.  I am pretty much an open book, so don't hesitate to ask me something or otherwise engage me in conversation.

Take care,
Jeff
