Does anyone on here had any experience of dealing with a family member diagnosed with CFS/ME (cronic fatigue syndrome)?.
I live with my 27 year old daughter who has had to live with this for the last 2 years and there is absolutely no treatment for the illness. She is unable to work full-time as she only has a small amount of energy in a day.
My worry is that when I'm gone ( I'm 70)who will be there to look after her when she gets worse.
I would die tomorrow if i give her health back
I think she sleeps ok but even so can still wake up exhausted.I think my wife may be suffering with this but we aren't really sure.
Her GP believes she may have fibromyalgia which amongst other things seems to cause fatigue, pain and anxiety.
My wife is also unable to work full time and currently does 3 days a week.
Does your daughter manage to sleep okay? My wife also seems to struggle with sleep, I don't know if you'd call it insomnia but the pain makes if hard for her to get a good night's sleep which makes the fatigue worse and in turn impacts on her pain.
I think she sleeps ok but even so can still wake up exhausted.
There is very little help out there as even GPs don't seem to fully understand it.
In many cases people dismiss this condition even family members.
Unless you actually have CFS/ME or live with a sufferer it is hard to understand the problem.
I hope your wife's condition improves but in the meantime you just have to be supportive and help her through.
She had a GP who actually suggested that she moved to New Zealand for a better climate and suggested taking up a hobby to make her life less worthless.
Might be worth further investigation.I think she sleeps ok but even so can still wake up exhausted.

I can attest to this.... She had a GP who actually suggested that she moved to New Zealand for a better climate ...
My family are from Wexford. What does he mean? Never heard it.Pretty sure I just got hate crime’d. Was chatting to another Irish fella (who turned out to be a Orange Lodge guy) in a bar and the below happened
“Where are ye family from?”
“Wexford”
“Ah so you’re a dirty Taig”
Mental - never had that before but it felt proper grim and dehumanising especially when everyone laughed and was like ”ah he’s just an older feller”

I’ve heard it used but never as a slur, it was defo a scouse thing for me growing up (I never used it to be clear but defo heard it)Pretty sure I just got hate crime’d. Was chatting to another Irish fella (who turned out to be a Orange Lodge guy) in a bar and the below happened

Starting back at the gym on Thursday as I've been told it can help with a bout of anxiety that I've been suffering with of late. I've managed to find a nice little down-to-earth gym which isn't filled with the "body beautifuls" that would make my anxiety worse. I've got a target in mind for August time when I'm due to have a big family get together for my Dad's 75th.
I have not checked in here for a while, to my shame.Having a date will help keep motivation mate![]()
Rise over it lad. The Irish have a brutal sense of humour and by God sometimes it’s intended as it was delivered.Pretty sure I just got hate crime’d. Was chatting to another Irish fella (who turned out to be a Orange Lodge guy) in a bar and the below happened

To be fair the guy wasn’t trying to be funny, but a day or so later I saw the funny side of this 60 odd year old guy randomly yelling at my 6’7” self while I was stood there with a pint in one hand and a cig in the other looking perplexedRise over it lad.

No matter. I start my day with a plan what to do and once I get home, not a single word that was said to me changed that I’m home in my safe spot. Don’t let anyone have the bad day, or bigotry, impact on you.
