Easter Suprise

So I was at tha hospital today and tha consultant casually said  " So apart from M.E & Fibromyalgia you're generally a  fit, healthy and well person, yes?" 
I looked at him suprised, wondering if tha date was wrong and it wasn't Easter April 5th but April Fools 1st instead? 
"Er...no, not really i replied,  M.E and Fibromyalgia present  with lots of horrible symptoms everyday, so i'm unable to work, i get constant infections..."
At which point he interrupted with "yeah yeah yeah, ok" and then carried on talking about something else.....20 years down tha line and  still  no clue about M.E/Fibro, still as rudely dismissive of it and it just goes to show that despite what we're being told, we are no futher forward. So i guess we just carry on fighting, we keep going, business as usual  eh? Happy Easter my friends may chocolate smother you...not literately obvioulsy. Stay blessed :) xxx

Let me start by wishing you all a Happy New Year as we come together for the first Column of 2017 with our dried fruit and peppermint tea? .....Yeah right, coffee and custard creams it is then?  Well holy moly! like many of you I've been struggling with "Happy" after being hit with this cold bug going around since before Christmas  and  then yesterday afternoon I had a major M.E relapse....Things can only get better right?  it's not evident that "Happy" is doing any better on the TV front either  is it? What on earth is going on with the writers? I grew up watching Coronation Street and later Emmerdale & Eastenders with my mum, there was also hollyoaks of course and they had storylines and people that we could relate to, it was still escapism, watching someone elses life unfold on screen, but it was pretty relaxed  family viewing. But fast forward and they've all turned into action busters, violence, murders, death & explosions, hardly chil

M.E? shudduppa ya face

Tha problem with M.E apart from having to cope with  enough symptoms to fill an encyclopaedia  with is  it means you have no life, so if you have no life other than M.E what are you expected to talk about? When I’m not recovering from major surgery I do have a little bit of a life that I’ve carved out for myself but that’s taken a long time and takes discipline and determination to carry out because it doesn’t stop my day being consumed by M.E. and everyone copes differently. For those of you that don’t have M.E let me explain, imagine a time when you’ve had  raging toothache, you know tha kind, where it feels like your  whole heads pulsating and throbbing with pain?  now imagine painkillers don’t work, theres nuthin tha dentist can do so you’re just gonna have to get on with it, live like that everyday probably for tha rest of your life……..now throw flu and a  hangover into tha mix and everyone expects you to carry on as normal?…I’m just giving you a little taste of what M.E

Far from Cute & Fluffy.

I’d like to start by apologising  for the  confusion and inconvenience caused to many of you by my  having an illness that’s not evidently obvious for you to see, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E) to be exact, a physical illness & multi-systemic disease, classified by the world health organisation on diseases of the nervous system (Neurological) . I would’ve much rather of chosen  one that came with a neon flashing light or failing that at least a  more popular  fluffy  palatable one, but  unfortunately  I didn’t  get the option of an  A, B or C.  As medical, media and public perception go, M.E is without doubt the witch hunt of the modern age.  Back in the 17th century a suspected witch was tied up and  dunked in water, the water god had anointed baptism stylee, so if she sank and drowned it meant she’d been accepted by the holy water and  was deemed innocent, but if she floated  she was  found guilty of being a witch because it was believed the water rejected servants of t
