  @Trae said in Hello!: Hello! I was diagnosed almost 20 years ago after a long and windy road ( which I’m sure is a familiar story). Hi @Trae yes a very familiar story. I have been the same, over 20 years and now I realise actually even longer than that, after an illness with glandular fever when younger. I was never right. Yet it was 22 years ago after a horrid “flu” that knocked my socks right off! I hope you have some support around you? Welcome to here

Hi Kirsty and welcome! Wow a mum of 5 kids it must be so difficult for you everyday. I unfortunately do not have any kids and I know how hard it is for me without them! So I really feel for you. You should be very proud of yourself as you are doing an amazing job with a horrid illness. This is a good place to be, as we all understand each other. I really hope you have some support from family and friends?

  Lovely to meet you Myra and hello everyone. What a poignant post to read. You do write eloquently and thank you for sharing your experience. I'm sorry you had much taken away from you as a child with ME, so many losses at a time of major milestones that it seems everyone else gets to have. I love how you've shared what you have learned through your own experience and how it has shaped you. I really wish you all the best with your hopes for studying part-time this year and goal of writing a book about your experiences.
