Ramblings on a life lived with CFS/ME

Well, finally here I am, ready to share my stories of a life lived with chronic fatigue, pain and general miserable, debilitating symptoms.

Yet no hang on, not quite ready, having planned to do this over 20 years ago, the condition itself has played its part and I find I am never ready, organised as I’d like, or mentally able.

So here I go anyway, ready instead to put out my thoughts and experiences in their true and honest state as this disease dictates.

I plan this as a way of adding purpose to my life, while showing fellow sufferers they are not alone and hopefully educating non sufferers of the complex nature of these much maligned conditions.

This blog will be haphazard with delays and may only make sense to some.

Bear with me for future insights to follow soon, hopefully aha!

Hey there!

About Me

Well hey, what can I say, there is more to me than this condition. Well I try hard to make that true. I am a 47 year old woman, I’ve been ill since the age of ten when I believe I contracted Lyme disease. I spent my life suffering with multitudinous confusing symptoms, pushing myself to try and lead a normal life despite long blighted periods of collapse. Eventually I was diagnosed with CFS and since then have limped on, searching for a manageable balance between illness and living. This blog is my effort to find some purpose and a sense of achievement. If there is one thing I know about in life it is living with M.E, my time now to share my knowledge and experiences with the world, in the hope of finding meaning in a life which so often feels like a pointless battle with an invisible enemy, that is my own body.

At this time, I am not organised in terms of social media sites and content. But hope to update in the future.

Well finally I have sorted myself out. If you wish to contact me directly, I am now on facebook.
