ME/CFS Awareness Week 2012 - BEE. - 05-08-2012 03:33 PM
In the shoutbox I said I didn't have the energy to write a full post (which is true), but I was given the idea to link to a site instead.
So yeah. The time has come again to raise awareness for the "invisible illness" I've had since I was 12. I would really really appreciate it if you could read/pass on the link to the site of the charity that helps those who struggle with this illness.
AYME

Spoon theory. (A good way of describing what we go through daily)

Symptoms
http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Chronic-fatigue-syndrome/Pages/Symptoms.aspx
I'm going to look for other sites. (Ones that don't say it's 'all in the head') and will edit the post and post the link [:
Short update on how I'm doing:
Since I last posted this a year ago, when I was doing really well, I've relapsed a bit. Not properly, as I'm not bed bound, but I've had to quit college, and can't even go in for an hour and a half one day a week for maths. I'm also sleeping at least twice during the day, but still manage to go for a walk when I am awake /:
Any questions, feel free to post, and I'll answer when I can
Thank you, if you've read this.

That's a rough thing to go through.

One of my friends has ME, and has lost a lot of people over the years,friendwise because she would cancel at the last minute because she had no energy.
I think it's really sad what people go through with this illness because they have to sacrifice so much of their lives.

I'm so sorry, BEE, I hope it gets better soon.

I had been friends with 3 other girls since I was in Junior school, though I had met one in Infants. I haven't seen them for... years. I can't even remember the last time I saw them.
It's harder for me to let go of them as "friends", though they can just forget about me all together ): Apart from the friends I've made here on Zef & Twitter, I only have one I talk to now and then after we got back in contact in 2010.
It's really hard.
