A friend (Thanks, Martine!) sent me a link to a new column in the Huffington Post written by a columnist "coming out of the closet"with his ME/CFS. It's an excellent column and it has inspired lots of comments, too. You can read the column here.
I really intended to finally write a post about my beta blockers today, but I just can't manage it. Both boys were still home sick today. Looks like maybe a virus, since Craig has a fever (he actually lost his appetite for a while, which is amazing), though this is 3 weeks in a row for Jamie. Later this week, I promise!
I have had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) since March 2002. Both of my sons also got ME/CFS at ages 6 and 10. Our younger son fully recovered after 10 years of mild illness. Our older son still has ME/CFS and also has Lyme disease plus two other tick infections. This blog is about how our family lives with chronic illness, with a focus on improving our conditions and enjoying our lives in spite of these challenges.
I read that, too! It was a good article. I love seeing more light shining on CFS in the media.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad people are finally coming out of the closet with regard to this illness. As soon as my legal stuff is over I'll probably come out myself.
ReplyDeleteI liked the article. I have to admit, I got so sick so fast that hiding it never occured to me. I was just too ill.
ReplyDeleteGlad there are more people writing about this.
Blessings,
Elaine
