'Funnily Enough' in the December issue of IBelieve, the Christian Lifestyle Magazine

The last extract in a series that has spanned eleven months,

when I have often been given a line on the front cover:

More stores of Mum and her tame otters

It was another hot summer, 22 years ago - and Mum and the otters were still keeping me entertained during my recovery from CFS ~

Quite fun: The diary I kept when I first went down with CFS features in the June issue of iBelieve magazine

Am very excited! I didn't see that I was given billing along the top of the front cover.

The photo was taken on the jetty at my parent's house last summer.

Facts about ME or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or M.E. affects 250,000 people in the UK. Typically the most active and talented people are afflicted. More than 33,000 children are affected in England alone, causing them to miss school for long periods, often years. About 20% of the total number of patients have severe ME, lying so ill they are unable to move. It can last for decades. 

Very little progression has been made in last 21 years. I suffered from it in 1991. There is still no test for it, no cure, standard treatment or drugs available. We urgently need to raise awareness about the disease (known in the US and Canada as CFFIDS) to ensure Government funding is made available for research, tests and treatment. The danger of total trust in alternative medicine also needs to be highlighted.

Action for ME 

Suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is not funny at all.

The World in One Room

~ Jessica Taylor's life with M.E. ~

Do watch this true story of a lovely girl who has been suffering from severe M.E. She has been truly courageous in her battle with this debilitating disease. Her aim is to make the world aware by encouraging people to watch this autobiographical video.

When you have Post Viral Fatigue it is tempting, when you feel better for a day or two, to return to normal activities too soon. Hopefully, Jessica's short film will encourage patients to convalesce properly. She witnesses to the danger of severe ME setting in.
