And what have we done? Errrr. Not a lot. It was another mainly miserable, lonely time for me, hard enough to make myself function over the season of cheer but I live with a twenty year old, who suffers with this plague also, so its doubly hard.

The Rack.
I often have painful nights, I want to try to communicate this pain as a way to come to terms with it. Somehow giving symptoms a name helps me to accept them. I lie down in bed, tired and ready for sleep that can not come, I imagine I am tied on to a medievalContinue reading “The Rack.”

Mad world.
Why is it that when we mention M.E people reply with some reference to mental illness? It happens all the time and I am sick of it. It is not a mental illness.
