Advice on M.E. Awareness Month
May is M.E. Awareness Month – and I know that many of your readers will know someone affected by the chronic, disabling condition M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis).
But just what does having M.E. actually mean?
It’s certainly not just about being tired.
Joint and muscle pain, sensitivity to light and sound, flu-like symptoms and digestive problems are just a few of the symptoms the 250,000 men, women and children in the UK can experience, while 25 per cent of them are affected so severely that they are unable to leave the house.
