Is everything an autoimmune disease once you get just one? I hope you have as much fun at your signing as I did a couple of weeks ago. It's the level of support and your connectedness with the people you know that will make it special. Though your friends and colleagues "know you," when you stand in front of them to share your story (don't hold back!) they'll be completely moved in new ways, and so will you. Sit, stand, lie down. Do whatever is needed and enjoy as you can. Joan Rosalind, no sinus issues here, just pesky new eye redness and irritation and frequent tears.

I am glad you will be with Laurie, who will be understanding, and I agree that it should be a forgiving audience, so try not to worry too much. You are such an inspiration for keeping on even when you feel like cr**! And after all isn't that you coach about, how to adapt your work to help support you so that you can do what you want and/or need to? I pray that you will not hurt too much to speak, but your book and workbooks are such good tools I know people will want them whether you give a long or short talk/reading. I wish I lived closer and could come to this event, but I will be there in spirit to support you and Laurie and wish you all the best with it, and with feeling better soon. Be kind to yourself today and always. Maureen http://Beingchronicallyillisapill.blogspot.com Rosalind,

Not that it will make you feel any better, but I'm also experiencing the sinus headache and chill plus what feels like hot flashes. Like you my symptons are worse in September and October, I guess it's the change of seasons. Strangely those are also my favorite months of the year, maybe because I was born in October. I don't know. Do the best you can and know that you will feel better soon. Rosalind, my heart is with you as you give your book talk.
