What is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

A very brief overview of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

10 years, a brief update and more frustration

A lot has changed recently for me, my health being one of them.

Nine Years

Nine years. Nine years since I first got ill. Nine, long, hard years and I'm still not better. I'm better, but not better.

Am I A Fraud?

Am I a fraud for saying I had chronic fatigue syndrome when in fact I had been misdiagnosed and it was actually untreated hypothyroidism?

I’m doing better

I had honestly wondered if I would ever get back to how I felt before I got ill. I'm still not there, but I'm closer than I have been in the last 8 years.

8 years and I might be getting better

I've had energy issues since February 2013, I might finally be getting better thanks to levothyroxine and a doctor who cares.

Quiet

I've been quiet for a while now, I've just not had the energy to write, let alone think of something to write about. I try to be helpful with the things I write, either with the ways I'm managing things or just sharing my experiences, lately, I've been struggling with both.

My GP’s Prescribed Levothyroxine

The last 3 weeks have been interesting. After 8 years I'm finally getting some treatment that may or may not help me.

I went back to the GP, again

It seems every year or two I decide I've had enough with being ill and force myself to go back to the doctors. It's never led anywhere. They run the same few blood tests which all come back normal so they tell me to just look after myself. Well, this year, I had enough.

2020

It's been one hell of a year, but we've made it.

Merry Christmas
