The problem is we aren't exactly young!. My friend and I got sick in our late teens, we are both now in our 30's, so she is trying to catch up for lost time, and that is why I wanted to go to uni as I never had the chance due to illness. I won't be going because the degree I want to do involves vaccinations that are not compatible with me/cfs. As for my friend, I really thought she would understand things better after suffering for so many years herself, but it seems that now she is pretty much better, she no longer understands the restrictions the illness places on you.
The driving issue seems to be a real sore point between my other friends and I as well, but what can one do!. It is out of my hands.
I suffer from severe lack of concentration and slow response time!, I don't want to kill an innocent driver on the road - driver fatigue kills. I would have thought that was common sense?
