What is the point?
I wrote this nearly a week ago, but feel so ashamed it has taken until now to pluck up the courage to share it and I still don’t know if I am doing the right thing. 1am 14th November Can’t sleep again, so upset and overwhelmed with life and possessions. I am so ashamed and…

Sense and Sensibility
According to English 306Sense is “possessing judgement and intelligence” whilst sensibility is “capacity for refined emotional response to feelings and experiences, involving delicate sensitivity to moral and aesthetic issues”I am not that familiar with the text of the book, but when reading about it this quote jumped out at me;“My illness has made me think… I considered the…

Theories
I have seen a few interesting ME theories this week and can relate to many of the things mentioned, they can be found on the following links http://www.cortjohnson.org/blog/2015/10/08/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-fibromyalgia-and-migraine-the-legitimacy-problem/ http://www.cortjohnson.org/forums/resources/when-panic-isnt-dr-bell-on-maggies-me-cfs-and-fibromyalgia-story.237/ http://www.cortjohnson.org/forums/threads/dr-david-bell-on-low-blood-volume-in-chronic-fatigue-syndrome.3074/ http://www.cortjohnson.org/blog/2015/10/12/lactic-acidosis-causing-cfs-fm-symptoms/ It remains to be seen if anything comes of the research, but they do sound interesting and along the right lines.

Pride and Prejudice Pt2

It also makes me…

Pride and Prejudice Part 1
No, I am not on a trip to the library, but as usual trying to juggle everyday life and illness. The book title kept popping into my head, I think because of the daily internal arguments over what I should be doing, could be doing, can do, can’t do and what is best for me…

Facebook withdrawal!

The median scores are a more accurate measurement of a community because they’re not skewed by people with…

Thank you ME
Before I begin I want to say sorry to the many of you for which this would have been impossible and I hope I haven’t caused any upset, I know I often get upset when I read about what others are able to do and know that I couldn’t even consider doing. This is unusual…
