Upvoted. With thoughts for her husband, wishing both of them the best.
My wife was diagnosed with ME.
It affected her for about 2 years. She was able to beat it with structured exercise training plans and she went on to run an ultra marathon years later.
She attributes the continued push/will to get better through structured exercise plans and push through the incredibly/deliberating tiredness (“like walking through treacle” as she described it), as the key to getting through it.
I’m 47 and bed bound from it. Thinking of them and all sufferers.
Why are there so many posts about ME on here? At least one a week.
Unfortunately this is all too common recently. Have to wonder if it has anything to do with the vaccines and boosters we’ve been shooting into our bodies.
Cannabis is an option with it being medically legal in the UK and it’s fairly easy to get a prescription. Unfortunately the NHS will not cover it so you have to go private and pay for it yourself.
I feel for her. My husband was 35 at onset, told he’d never work again at 36. It’s a devastating illness and robs both him and you of so much.
I understand. I’m grieving for the life I used to have before my husband got chronically ill.
