Kate: All I can say is that I am very glad that this struck after I left work. There is no way I could cope with the daily grind and life would be sheer hell. Maybe the next time in Torquay?

Kirk M – He is a pro;ific blogger yet this is the first time he has touched on the subject. I hope he does a bit more on the subject.

Glad I found your post here. I stopped by and wished him well. I can empathize with him in my own way but he does seem to already have the right kind of attitude to handle things as they come. I’ll be stopping in at his place now and then to see how he’s getting on though.

Thanks for letting us know about this.

One of my friends got this condition a few years back – and he was so poorly it looked like he would never work again.

There is a private clinic that I have used for pain management in Torquay and I recommended this to my friend – after four weekends treatment there he was back at work and has never looked back. When it started he couldn’t get out of bed – they work miracles in that place – I know first hand!

Hi Sal and welcome!

Another of the proncipal symptoms of ME seems to be a distrust of the medical profession, all right. In fairness to them [I try to be fair?] it is not an easy affliction to diagnose.

Also, I think that there is a tendency for men to deny that they have it in the first place. Of course that is the worst thing to do, as percevering with the suffering as that will only make things worse.

There are benefits to ME of course. One of the main ones is the ability to watch a film or read a book many times, as one forgets that one has read or seen it in the first place. There are some films that I have seen three or more times, only realising half way through that I might have seen them before! In these days of crap television, that is a bonus.

Seeing as I have opened this little can of worms here, I would doubtless return to the topic a few times [and probably repeat everything again?]. As you say, there are so many joyful little ‘side ailments’ that there is enough material for a dedicated blog…..
