Today is the 10th anniversary of the day that I became housebound with severe #ME. To mark the occasion here’s a thread:
10 years ago I came home from work unbelievably overwhelmingly exhausted. #mecfs#MillionsMissing#MyalgicE#meawarenesshour2/ I thought 2 weeks off would fix it. It didn’t. After 6 weeks I was desperate to go back to work.
I held a fellowship in bio-nano-technology at a Scottish University. I tried a phased return starting with 1 hour per day. Twice. Each time I crashed and became more unwell.
