Surprise! No one believes you're sick!
Here is a new article on the Hummingbird's Foundation for M.E. site. It details how EVERYTHING in your life changes drastically when you develop M.E.:
M.E.: The Shocking Disease
It is a monumental challenge to develop healthy coping methods when nobody takes it seriously that you are sick. Or when you are told to work out to cure yourself. Or when you are sent to a shrink to "fix" problems that are neurological. Interesting that a person fighting cancer is usually described as brave, but a person battling M.E. is considered weak or a malingerer even when bed bound. I guess it's one of things that has to be experienced to be believed.
