In spite of it all, I persevere.

I do as much as I can every day to maintain what little stamina and fitness I have, whilst keeping below a level at which I'll provoke a crash.

I can poke the internet, staying in contact with other people, because I have a properly set up computer, and I pretty much touch type, so little to no wrist involvement.

But in between activities, when I MUST rest, I rage, against the people who deny, deny and defund research into the condition.

"Happy" International ME Day!

So how is it today?

I did some cleaning last week, stopping Saturday. The pain in my muscles is constant, even in my sleep. My arms are fizzy today, worse than previous days. My right wrist has flared up so no lifting/using it.

Washing was a struggle this morning.

I required assistance to bring in the food delivery.

I batch cooked before starting the housework, because I knew I'd be unable to cook for days.

Most people will know that FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE was the founder of modern nursing and a great innovator. Some people may recall that she invented the pie chart (actually, it was William Playfair who invented i, she just popularised its use). Afew people may know that her parents- called her Florence after the Italian city where she was born. But she also suffered with a DEBILITATING and PAINFUL DISEASE which left her HOUSEBOUND and BEDBOUND for DECADES. This disease is now recognised as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) _ (ME is also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in some countries) A Florence Nightingale's birthday was 12th MAY. In her honour, this day has been chosen as the International Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Awareness Day. More than 100 YEARS after her death, this disease is STILL POORLY UNDERSTOOD, it is inadequately researched, there is NO CURE or universally effective treatment. MILLIONS of people (including children) are SUFFERING. WHAT WOULD FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE THINK?

It's great that the august CDC continues to highlight May 12, ME/CFS Awareness Day.

https://www.cdc.gov/me-cfs/awareness-day/index.html

The provisional 2026 budget plans to scrap the CDC's ME/CFS research program. Hopefully lobbying will change this proposal.

I actually deteriorated over time, through following exercise, like many others with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. Improving or even stabilising is not the only possible outcome following an infection.

Plenty of research shows a significant percentage of those with #LongCovid satisfy #MECFS criteria

Unfortunately, through a lack of research, effective treatments don't exist for ME so people can be left languish for decades with debilitating symptoms, like I have been

I'm one of millions missing from our lives due to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, each with their own challenges and losses.

Unlike Covid lockdowns, the lockdowns we have dealt with for years due to #ME continue
