Paul Tomkins is a writer and published author.
He has ME, and he's written an excellent blog, describing his experience of living with ME...
We Are Death, Warmed Up
November 16, 2014
www.paultomkins.com/living-with-m-e/we-are-death-warmed-up/
The blog starts:
"It is torture, of a kind. The unrelenting jab of needles into the spine. The vice clamped to the temples and tightened. The syringes slowly draining blood from the thighs, injecting concrete into the calves. Poison swelling in the stomach, pumping to the veins, tying knots in the guts.
"You shake, but not in terror. Even the twilight is too bright. Movement sets flotsam and jetsam tumbling about the head; simply sitting up can be a struggle – postural hypertension sending you giddy. Sights and sounds take longer to travel to the brain, the neural pathways fogged and furred with white noise and static. You are death, ever so slightly warmed up."
He has a website, and he's on Facebook and Twitter.
Amazon lists a number of books that he's written, which I think are mainly about Liverpool football club, and he's also published some fiction.
