[Closed] PVFS/CFS/ME people update?

Used to be quite a few posts on here about this kind of thing - not seen any for a while. Just wondering how people are getting on.

I realised recently it's almost exactly 5 years since I got ill. Spent most of the first year when I was really ill extremely depressed and angry - while there has been many ups and downs since then things have steadily improved over the years.

I don't know if it's time, dealing better with it mentally, or looking after myself better physically that's done it (probably some combination of all of them) but I'm generally OK now - getting back to a more sensible weight and able to do a reasonable amount of biking/walking etc. Did the Four Passes route in the Lakes recently (over two days though) and a few other reasonable trips without suffering too much afterwards. Off to Torridon at the weekend.

I still need to be a bit careful about making sure I get rest afterwards and not overdoing it with booze etc but in general I can live a fairly normal active life now - which seemed completely impossible at one point. I spent weeks/months pretty much exclusively in bed and walking to the shop seemed like an epic struggle that would leave me exhausted afterwards.

Not meaning to boast or anything about getting better, just massively relieved really - hopefully it might give a bit of hope to some others who are still struggling.

How is everyone else getting on?
