Oh sweetie, I can relate. I'm so sorry that you are faced with all this. You are brilliant and brave and strong. But the reality is that all those things have an unwanted dimmer switch. I hate to say that I have given up on almost all my dreams. Things that felt possible just a few short years ago feel like Mt. Everest now. I also understand about the people pleasing. I guess I should feel grateful that I'm almost too exhausted to be bothered with it 😉. Regarding disability benefits – have you actually applied? Given the level of function you are at I can't imagine how you couldn't be accepted! If the system there is anything like the one here, it will probably be a frustrating and exhausting process. I highly recommend hiring someone who knows the system to help you. My brain capacity was so bad when I applied that I had to get help! Hugs to you and Foggy ❤️.

I hear you on the comfort eating. I do my best to eat healthy. But to do that I have to make everything from scratch. This leads to lots of batch cooking which is exhausting! The problems come when I'm so exhausted I can hardly think. I get so fed up with either cooking or cleaning up that I go on benders… popcorn, that is. I'm now trying to stay away from popcorn but find that I'm making stops at the local bakery. I think homemade popcorn is far better for me than processed sugar! But to get back to my point (I know I had one), I get into comfort eating to distract myself on how wretched I feel! I get sick and tired of feeling sick and tired! When you can't do much, eating is easy. I know I'm only hurting myself in the long run. That's what I try to remember when I have as much resolve as I do energy. I hope you find a way of eating healthy that works for you. I KNOW you will 😊❤️

Comment on Explaining M.E. to children by Unknown

My 13yr old with ME always says to me when he relapses ''I'm not tired, i'm really WEAK'', he also says it feels like he can't get any air into his lungs. Other common words he uses are of course DIZZY and FEELING SICK when he stands up. He describes sharp pains as feeling as if a NEEDLE IS STICKING IN HIM.
Hope that helps.
kind regards Sharon (ME sufferer with 3 out of 4 children affected (one recovered, and a sister with Fibromyalgia)

Absolutely agree, this need to validate our illness isn't helping.
