Today

Hey everyone,

Today I went to my Gradual Exercise Therapy in the morning which was nice as the therapist is really supportive to me. After that I came home and went to sleep for a while. Then I decided to go out with my best friend for Christmas shopping, I was still tired but my friend and I took it nice and slowly and we had a long lunch to reboost my energy. My friend deserves a massive hug for being so patience as I was extremely tired. When I got home I went for a really long sleep. Now I am just going to sit down with a hot water bottle and watch the X factor final.

I wish you all a good night. Please remember an invisible illness is extremely hard to live with as no one apart from the person suffering can know how you are actually feeling.

Gradual Exercise Therapy

Hello everyone,

Sorry for not posting but the last week has been really hard for me. I slept all of Sunday last week and was finding it extremely hard to walk as my legs are weak and feel like jelly. Anyway today I went to my Gradual Exercise Therapy and did some exercise and I tried to make sure to pace myself and I took rest inbetween each exercise. I am now feeling extremely tired so will take my afternoon sleep. It's hard for me to have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as I used to be so active and it has an affect on my social life and I had to quit my job as I am extremely weak and tired.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Love from Meera xx 

Why I made This Blog

Hello everyone,

This is my new blog. I have made this blog so you can see how I battle with CFS/ME as it is a hard condition to live with. I have good days and bad days with CFS/ME.

I'm sure most people get tired but the tiredness I get is very different. I have an illness which I will end up having for the rest of my life. The illness is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

For the last year and a half I have been getting extremely tired and exhausted and my sleep hasn't been refreshing. Well anyway I had a number of blood tests to rule out other illnesses but they were all fine. A few weeks ago I went back to the DR and told her how my mobility is severely reduced and after doing any exercise,shopping etc I end up being bedridden for the next few days. She said the reason why is because I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. She diagnosed me with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

What Is CFS?

CFS is long term disabling fatigue. CFS is often used by doctors. This is because the main symptom is often fatigue and the condition is chronic (persistent). Another name for CFS is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). The causes of CFS is unknown but DRs think CFS can be linked to viral infections, depression, inherited genetic susceptibility. CFS/ME can affect anyone. It is estimated that CFS/ME affects about 1 in 300 people in the UK.It is  three times as common in women as in men.

I hope you enjoy reading my blog to see how I cope with CFS/ME and how I cope with it. I have good days and bad days. Follow my recovery battling through CFS/ME.
