ME seems to be a mixture of things, and there's arguements about whether it's in your head or whether infection is the cause. Maybe it's either, or both. There's some interesting new science on ME being in some way connected with a virus named XMRV. Of course, in the past, all the research money in the UK was given to the headology docs.
I'm biased. I had a diagnosis of ME which got lots better with antibiotic treatment for something else altogether.
Eh?! As several examples above have shown, it's not usually anything like that long term.
I guess we can both only talk from personal experience.
Just found this so thought I'd post.
I've been suffering from this for about 6 months at least. Bloody horrible condition. All I want to do is ride my bike. Everytime I try to I end up unable to do even the most basic stuff around the house for 4-5 days and with 2 kids it ain't easy.
I'm fighting it everyday and pushing to recover but it's damn hard as no one knows too much a out it and the NHS are proper chocolate teapots on the subject. The best information that not only explains what is going on and makes sense of the symptoms is www.drmyhill.co.uk . Since following the advice life is more manageable and I'm hoping to be able to ride my bike damn soon!
I wish the OP and his missus all the best - many people recover, it's just a shame the NHS are no help and actually cause more suffering with CBT and GET - muppets!
For those who make fun of it, while I'd like to say I'd wish it on you I won't as it is one of the darkest most depressing places I have experienced and would t wish it on anyone.
