soniaLaura Hillenbrand's story of living with Chronic Fatigue. She describes her health crash, her arrogant unhelpful doctors, her relationship, and her writing. Along the way she wrote best-seller Seabiscuit. The article is vivid, detailed, beautiful.
This paragraph grabbed me. It's even better in context.
"We spent a long, painful summer talking, and for both of us there were surprises. I didn't shatter, and neither did he. I prepared myself for him to leave, but he didn't. We became, for the first time since our days at Kenyon, alive with each other."
