Dealing with the Emotional Impact of Chronic Illness

Thank you for taking a couple of minutes to fill in this short questionnaire. I want to be able to help people live happier, more fulfilling lives despite chronic illness. To do that in the best way that I can I'd like to hear from you about the help that you would find useful. This is the 3rd of a series of questionnaires that I will be releasing over the next few weeks to research the 8 steps that I believe are crucial to living better with chronic illness. You can fill in as little or as much of this questionnaire as you want but it shouldn't take more that a couple of minutes even if you do all of it! You can find out what I learned form my last questionnaire in my blog at http://www.mecfsselfhelpguru.com/2015/01/results-of-my-damage-limitation-questionnaire.html
