ive been suffering from ME since i can remember. At 25 ive never been close to settling. I havent got the stamina to hold down a normal job and have had loads of jobs since leaving school. Ive been to counsillors, GPs, even a chronic fatigue clinic. None have helped. Im on Anti-depressents which helps a little, but it doesnt help my concentration or memory. I darent talk to any one about it cause i think people will just think im being lazy but its not that at all, i genuinely dont have the energy to do anything half of the time. Its embarrassing, and although ive hidden it well all my life, people are just starting to think im a waste of space. How can i live a normal life when i feel like this?

I don't think it's you. It's probably the low-level jobs you've worked in the past that make you think you have ME. Have you ever noticed that the higher-paying jobs are always the ones with the least amount of work and stress involved?

I've been battling Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for 4 years now and when I got this system I was probably at the lowest point of my life. I had no energy at all and was in constant pain. I hated myself and hated the doctors who all shrugged it off and told me I just needed to take it easy or that I simply needed to have proper sleep!
This have completely changed my life. Barely 3 weeks on this system, and my brain fog and headaches are gone completely! I can now also manage to go for a 20 minute brisk walk without feeling exhausted.

Stop the negative thinking first of all. I know it's really difficult to keep your chin up, but try.
I have read some things about different chronic fatigue problems. One book, by J.E. Williams, Viral Immunity, explains many diseases, etc. You may want to do some personal research there and find out how to get back on the road to better health. BTW, J.E. Williams has a clinic in southern California I believe.

Hi
I'm really sorry to hear about your situation. I have a Godmother who was diagnosed with M.E. She has a terrible time with it as well. She gets torrid headaches and can't be around people cos she feels very down in the dumps. She also wants to sleep a lot. I have heard of many solutions to ME. Firstly there is a diet in South Africa called TLC. It is excellent not for weight loss only, but cancer patients, diabetics and ME cases too. Reiki healing is also a possible solution.
I hope that this has helped to give you a little glimmer of hope.
Just remember God has a purpose for us all, he does not promise us a life free from problems but he does promise us that he will protect us and that our suffering is not in vein. Your reward will be great. Psalm 91

Ive got a friend with ME, so i can understand a little of how you feel, try contacting fellow sufferers maybe, get some help and guidlines s to how to plan your life.
Dont be embarrased by it, its a recognised illness, though there is no miracle cure, there are things that can help, and maybe its time you told friends and family about this, so you can at least stop stressing aboutwhat people think.

First of all, you have to ask yourself 'What is normal?'
For 'normal' heterosexual people, the idea of a gay relationship is 'abnormal' for gay people, the idea of a heterosexual relationship is 'abnormal.'
We all suffer from a lack of energy from time to time. It doesn't mean that we are sick or that we are abnormal - it just happens - especially at this time of year when we have lots of dark hours rather than daylight. This is called SADS. Seasonal Adjustment Disorder Syndrome (I think!).
I think that I would advise you to try to take a route that is more in nature with how your body wants to function rather than forcing it into a routine that it just doesn't want to do. Sorry to put this back to you, but I am afraid that you are the only one that can find the solution.

I can answer only from a Christian perspective, so don't read on if that puts you off. First thing is don't blame God for your misfortune - He allows us to be subject to Satan's evil influences (read the book of Job). I don't think you'd want to be an automaton under God's control, with no free will of your own. There'd be no virtue in goodness if that was the case. God can use your condition to good purpose if you will invite Him to do so. We can come to the Father for help through belief in Jesus Christ (Jesus said, "No-one comes to the Father except by me") You will find then that your load is lifted and you will be at peace, and maybe healed - who knows? This isn't the place for a sermon, so read the undermentioned passages from the Bible.
Email me if I can help some more.

My daughter suffered from ME, as have a few other people I know. They got incredibly good results from something called Reverse Therapy. I'm not sure of the address of the guy who runs it, but if you put Reverse Therapy into your search engine I'm sure you'll get the information you want.
Good Luck

depends on what you consider "normal". take a walk. just a short one. get on a bus and watch people go by. you ll be sitting down but youll be out and interacting.

You can't, something else must be done to help you. Naps every afternoon and going to bed early might help.
