  • Hi Tara.....I hope you are seeing some improvement sweetheart. I've had M.E for 20 yrs, was very severe at the beginning but I am a lot better than I was. Firstly I wish you a huge improvement in your health ( and don't ever give up as you can get better!!) and secondly I hope you find a GP who takes your illness seriously. I consider myself one of the lucky ones as my GP diagnosed my illness. A lot of friends and family weren't and aren't so understanding so I know how hard it must be.Get well!

  • Thanks for doing these videos. They are very powerful.

    btw- volume on this one is inaudible, at least for me.

  • A tech once was told to give me an ekg. She was outraged by the thrush on my scalp (diagnosed by an infectious disease doctor) said she couldn't get a good contact. She stimulated my scalp for ten minutes and unhooked the wires. The seizure came about 20 minutes after she left. Mine were this severe in the first few weeks, then became peri-menstrual. A woman doctor gave me a big bottle of dilantin, 1 tsp a day. 1 year and the seizures were much reduced.

    These should be watched by MD's.

  • Sending you love and hugs from me! <3

  • Thank you for making this series of videos. I have been ill for nearly 4 years. I am fortunate - I am not bed bound, nor do I have to stay in a darken room. But my world is gradually shrinking as I am finding it increasingly difficult do things. If only it was just fatigue. But fatigue is just a small part of it. Few mention the gait problems, myoclonus, involuntary movements, feeling poisoned after a short amount of activity etc. Best Wishes to both of you.

  • You are both so strong x I've had M.E. for 8 years now. I'm 'lucky' to have stabilised at around 50%. All the best wishes in the world for you both x

  • Thinking of you and your daughter. i have M.E too and know how devastating it can be. Best Wishes to you both. xxx

  • Hi Tara, its Viks from AYME. Sending you lots and lots of love and hugs.
