New Beginnings

I was finally diagnosed in March 2004 as suffering from ME, previously known by the widely held derogatory term of "Yuppie Flu", but now recognised by the Medical establishment and better known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Although it is now officially recognised as a serious illness there is no known treatment for it. Self help and research was all my Doctor could advise and to steer clear of American information sites who tended to err on the side of sensationalism (who'd have thought it eh?). So there you have it, "You're ill but there's nothing we can do for you". If you'd like to know more about the illness then please check out the link section. I'd love to hear from anybody out there who is also fighting this depleting illness.

I plan to use this weblog to keep a daily journal of how I feel, what I've ate, how much I slept, exercise taken etc. With this information I hope to begin the long and hard road to recovering some semblance of a normal life. I'll also use it to post things of general interest, rants, pet peeves, news etc for those who might find it of interest.
