What M.E is really like...

Hey all you lovely lot :)

I wanted to write a blog to tell you all a bit of what M.E is like and what the consequences are of having fun. I am trying to raise awareness of how awful this long term illness is.

Last week, I had a lovely week, which was busy for me. Although 'normal' people, people who aren't poorly, would just think of it as an average week.
Because I did push myself to have a good time, a lot of people who don't understand M.E would think that I am getting better, or that I'm okay now. Although, that isn't true... I wish it was!!

I just about managed to do these things because if I didn't push myself to do nice, fun things every once and a while and make some happy memories, then life would be very boring!!


Although, once Saturday came and the week was over, all the effects of doing these things hit me hard! I had to spend most of the weekend and most of Monday in bed where I was feeling so poorly. Things that are usually difficult, like having a bath, were so much harder than before.
Today I am still really struggling and just seem to keep feeling worse everyday, it seems that I have relapsed with my M.E which totally sucks!! -.- This means that all my symptoms have gotten a lot worse, and that I have less energy than before (but I didn't have much then :P) which is highly frustrating!!
Things as simple as sitting up, holding my head up without support and talking are tiring me out and are hard.

But even though these are the consequences, I wouldn't of not done the things I did last week, I enjoyed myself and at the end of the day, that is all that matters. I am proud of myself for doing those things. And I am glad I did them.

I just wanted to give you all an insight of what M.E is like when you have 'overdone' it by doing too many high energy activities.

Thanks for reading, if anyone is reading my blogs that is ;) And hope that all of you who are watching Celebrity Big Brother are enjoying it! I love it! Always makes me laugh! Rylan or Claire to win!!! :D

Love to you all,

Sophs :) xxxx <3
