How cruel to invite someone with ME/CFS at 6:40 am! This must have exhausted her so much afterwards.

I'm horribly fatigues all the time. I can barely stand up for 5 or 10 minutes without needing to sit or lay down. It's ruing my life I feel sick to my stomach and helpless.

I have chronic fatigue and also walking problems and have fell on several occasions. I lost
my Mother in March, and have'nt really got over her Death. She was Fine until she went for
revision knee surgery, which went wrong. She had infection in her knee, which led to her
developing "Cervical Myelopathy" in her neck, and began to lose firstly her left arm, then her
right arm, then her legs. She ended up in a Nursing Home, because I could no longer Care
for her anymore. She was fed Pureed food, was bed ridden, and just wasted away, not even
able to speak in the end, and "Passed Away" on 22nd March. Just a Bag of Bones. I am
crying a lot because she took over a year to die. She was a nice lady, I told a Taxi Driver
about her, and he said "You wouldn't let an Animal Suffer like that.

Happend to me - Glandular Fever - then post viral fatigue and finally CFS. That was 1996 November.

I have this and I literally can’t bare to be alive with it. Sigh.

Can someone tell, if you feel extremely drowsy and heavily sleepy the next morning after having a good nights sleep, is this the fatigue that's referred to?

[Annmarieize]

Flu symptoms and stomach problems.
Woke up the next day from the stomach problem, was crippled I could not move.

[TheDetoxCureGuide]

I had this and recovered by detoxifiction.

Diagnosed with this after a neurospect scan. They injected me first with a radioactive substance before the scan. The scan shows low blood circulation in my frontal lobe. Do you always feel sleepy or unrefreshing sleep in the morning? Do you often have body aches especially at night? Difficulty falling asleep? Awakenings with burning sensation in your body while your head wants to sleep and feeling muscle tight? Maybe you have ME/CFS

I’ve had chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia for over 10 years I’ve decided to go private and see a functional medicine doctor as the nhs don’t do anything about it
