...Affected by me.
Rawr. So, M.E sucks. I have links that I could bore you with, but I have another post for that. So, you might like to read this: http://www.arwen-undomiel.com/forum/vie ... hp?t=18852
Yes, lots of reading. I already know a few people on here who have M.E, (*waves 'HALLO MUM!' sign*) you know who you are. This club isn't just for that.
This club is for anyone who'd like to make a difference. So, spreading the word that we aren't actually just tucked up in bed with pizza and a DVD, helping raise awareness or just being there to listen or make someone smile. I'll see if I can get updates on M.E researching stuff, also.
Joineth is you wanna shout with us.

M.E. needs awareness. So go Meldy!!!
I might as well write a small M.E. introduction. Though I might first begin by saying that if this illness was a person I'd give it a good kicking. I have had it for 5 years and it's awful - people who take the mick out of it just aren't funny. I'm talking to you, Ricky Gervais. And I doubt that Dame Kelly Holmes actually ever had M.E. An ex-M.E.er, running marathons? Ho ho ho! I think not.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bitter person. Having had it all this long time gives you time to think. It's boring, horrible, irritating, annoying, and has all kinds of symptoms along with constant tiredness such as dizziness and insomnia. And headaches. At one point it was like having an mp3 player of heavy metal music in my head.
Anyway, like I was saying. I think at one point, when I'd had M.E. for a very long time, I started to get very depressed. Most people with the illness do. Feeling tired all the time drains you so you have no energy for anything, and then you start to think, what's the point in trying anyway? But luckily I'm out of that stage.
I'm concentrating on being happy and doing the stuff that I like. Seeing Mama Mia and Prince Caspian in my library's cinema, getting coffee anywhere apart from Starbucks, which I boycott against. M.E. doesn't shape who you are, though it changes your life.
So this topic is really good to raise awareness! More people need to know that it isn't a fake condition.

Yesterday, my life changed forever I was diagnosed with M.E. It has hit me pretty hard, especially last night. Now I have to live my life differently, which will be a big step for me.

Hey, I never heard of this disease before! Is there a cure, and what is its full name?
I'll be praying for you Legolas15 and DarkMelda. Hope you feel better doing stuff like LOTR!

Thanks! The full name of M.E. is - Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome.
It isn't just Meldy & me, it's EvilCupcake,~Goldleaf~, are the ones that I know of.
I have a question, "My heart is racing very fast, does anybody know of someway or something to calm it.

I've actually just remembered..... A guy I know is doing a 31 mile rowing marathon this month and half the money he raises will be going to AYME...
