International ME/CFS & FM Awareness Day

[freya_bean]

I'm now in my 6th year of trying to fight M.E., that is, the 6th year from diagnosis. The first 'real' symptoms began in 2002, but it may have in fact taken hold even earlier than that. I remain determined to carry on fighting and hopefully not let it break me. Admittedly some days are very frustrating, but I refuse to let my spirit be quashed

Ha! I think one of the web pages that had the biggest impact on me was the page of obituaries for all the people who have died of CFS/ME, because it's just not an association most people would make. xx

Yep, agreed. I tried not to dwell on it too long myself as I started fretting about the future :/ (admittedly I'm a bit down anyway atm)...

I have so much respect for you for how you manage this terrible thing, and how you struggle to keep going when you feel your worst.

I wish I could do more for you

I'm a bit dense today and can't seem to figure out how to leave a fresh comment without replying to an existing one, but just wanted to say, great post!
