We think it is likely in the Donegal Democrat newspaper this week as Aoife works for them

“On the theme of personal burden and quality of life, another stated, ““She said, “My life has become an inhumane existence.” She left a husband and two teenaged children whom she referred to when she said, “I believe they have lost their mother to ME.””

Good news, my safe foods I’d been reacting to these last few weeks has gone back to lower reaction. It’s my last lot of antibiotics tomorrow, so looks like being ill made everything worse, which makes sense.

When I went to the drs last week, they were surprised I didn’t know I had strep throat. I said I’m just used to feeling really ill and being told it’s fibromyalgia, or just something I have to deal with, I hadn’t even gone about my sore throat snd earache 😂 This was a sympathetic locum, who said it shouldn’t be like this.

“When the people in your life don’t understand PEM [post-exertional malaise], they’re not just failing to understand a symptom. They’re failing to understand the central mechanism that governs your entire existence. They’re missing why you can’t just meet them for a meal, why you can’t work full-time, why you can’t be the person you used to be”

+++ Off-Topic: ME/CFS +++

Im Krankenhaus habe ich die Dokumentarfilmerin und Regisseurin Sibylle Dahrendorf kennengelernt, die seit Jahren mit ME/CFS lebt. Ihre Ausdauer und innere Stärke haben mich tief beeindruckt.

Die Dokumentation „Chronisch krank, chronisch ignoriert“ (ARTE, 2025) thematisiert eindringlich die Multisystemerkrankung ME/CFS, ihre Komorbiditäten und die strukturellen Versorgungslücken.

Bitte um Beteiligung, damit die wichtige Doku verfügbar bleibt:

Jak odróżnić Zespół Przewlekłego Zmęczenia ME/CFS od depresji?

@alex_lad_bug wstawiło na https://szmer.info/post/11612983 wpis:

> Encefalopatia mialgiczna/zespół przewleklego zmęczenia (angielski skrót ME/CFS) to choroba która może być wywołana infekcją wirusową, w tym przez covid-19. W wyniku pandemii przybyło wiele osób cierpiących na tę chorobę, ale niestety lekarze i lekarki bardzo mało o niej wiedzą. Często w przypadku nadmiernego zmęczenia po infekcji zalecają stopniowy powrót do aktywności fizycznej. Jednak przy ME/CFS może to wywołać więcej szkody niż pożytku, dlatego bardzo ważne jest właściwe postawienie diagnozy. Polecam cały kanał Chroniczynka na YouTube.

Dodam, że Zespół Przewlekłego Zmęczenia wynika także ze Stwardnienia Rozsianego!

Of note: “exertional dyspnea” with a prevalence of approx. 80% in ME/CFS: Shortness of breath during exercise (exertional dyspnea) produces a sensation of not being able to "get enough air" and a feeling of being "out of breath

You know you’re chronically ill when the drs is always selected whenever you open your contacts 😂

Absolute nightmare getting through this morning, I managed a to get a telephone appointment, I’ll go to walk in/A&E if anything gets worse.
