Day 31

@mecfs @cfs

imagine if... ...one day, you got a flu or a stomach bug... but it never went - away, instead, it got worse... the flu-like state would be with you every day, and there would be pain, in muscles, joints, arms, back, legs, face... and this pain would sometimes be unbearable, so that you couldn't move or stand up... then there would be nausea and headaches... and you would get repeated infections, anywhere and everywhere in your bod... and dizziness and vertigo... and muscle weakness, sometimes you would be so weak that you couldn't hold a cup to your mouth or lift your arms or turn your head.. then you would get extreme sensitivity to light, noise, smell, they would make you sick... you couldn't bear anyone to touch you, this would cause searing pain... then there would be times when your short-term memory didn't work and you couldn't remember words or articulate them... you brain would be so fogged over... on top of all this, you couldn’t sleep... ..and this would drastically limit your life and it could go on for months, years, decades or even for the rest of your life. Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
