I think a few doctors seem to understand it more nowadays but the DLA people, I don't think they can have it or know anyone who has it and how much we suffer. The stories I've read about people applying for DLA and ESA on here have been almost unbelieveable.

It's a great shame when it's friends though and you don't feel you can see them anymore. So many people have no idea about it have they, I didn't understand ME until recently and I know a few people who have it.

We can only try and explain but if they don't want to listen or think we're not as bad as we say, what can we do.
