ME is still woefully misunderstood by our health and welfare systems
We got some help after my husband was diagnosed with ME but that soon evaporated. Friends and family had to step in.

My husband got a diagnosis of his ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) early on, something of a rarity in a landscape populated by disbelief and dismissal. I didn't have the years of wondering about this mysterious exhaustion and I clearly remember the relief: someone knows what is wrong and can start to treat it. I was placed in the role of carer at the same moment that I thought we were saved. We'll get support and help. Hooray! Excuse me while I take a weary and knowing side glance to camera.
