Hello and Welcome.

You'll find that this page can be pretty quiet, due to the nature and impact of M.E/CFS.

Also, nobody here is medically qualified, obviously.

There's nothing wrong with having a strong work ethic, in my opinion.

However, it's tricky when your body etc won't cooperate, as you've found.

There are certain sacrifices that have to be made, when you live with a chronic illness, like this.

These might make us unpopular, but they're necessary, for the sake of our health and overall well-being.
