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.
Thank you, Sue! You rock!
ReplyDeleteSue, thanks again for always providing such great info - i was wondering what type and brand of heart rate monitor did you get...does it matter? thanks heather
ReplyDeleteHeather -
ReplyDeleteMine is Polar brand, with a chest strap. I had to replace the strap at one point, but the rest is still working after 18 months of use (I think I made a mistake in washing the strap in hot water - I haven't now with the new one and it's still going strong). You can find lots of makes and models on amazon.com or at any sporting goods store.
Sue
thanks!!
