I was diagnosed with ME when I was eleven. I now have reason to believe it was actually the first signs of my thyroid playing up, but I can certainly understand the myriad of aches and pains, lethargy and downright despair associated with it.

You have my symphathies doll, very much so.

*hugs*

Thanks. Unfortunately, no one at work understands - even if you guys do.

:(

That's because they're all idiots. Do you have an Occupational Health nurse? She'd understand, I'm sure :) They have to know about these things. ..

Meh. *hugs* ME's a complete fucker. Take care. *sends vibes* Would you be okay with me programming a crystal for you?

alfirin_kirinki December 6 2005, 18:33:55 UTC

That would be lovely - thank you. Although I might start calling you Radek.

You can call me whatever you like so long as it's not too early. Arf arf!

*drum thingy* Ba-doom chi

Thank you, thank you. I'm here all week.

More people call me Rosie than anything else! But thanks, Pip. Long time no speak, you know...

Hey, man, that sucks and I know it (ME is the reason I took two years off from uni).

I really hope it isn't kicking off again.

Thanks. I wish I could take two years off from work. :*(

I may sound like a fool, but what is ME?

I've had a look and it comes under the label of Chronic Fatigue.
I can see why that would be a real bitch to live with.

*huggles Rosie*

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis - also known as ME, or Chronic Fatigue syndrom. Stupidly named 'Yuppy Flu' by idiotic GPs in the '90s, who didn't 'believe' in it. More recently found to have a lot to do with the brain stem and a lack of blood making it to the brain.

Awful bitch to live with, made more so by the disbelievers :(

Word.

Cheers, mate. When I was about your age I had it the first time, and was living away from home and temping - so I had to go to work or I couldn't live. I was leaving the house at 6.30/7.00am and getting home again at seven because I had a long commute, and as soon as I got in all I'd do was sleep. I was literally living to work.

I hate this illness.
