For some time now, I've been after as many M.E. sufferers as possible to tell their own 'Day in the Life' stories, or to explain their 'M.E. Story' (or 'Case Study') to be featured on this website; to let the world know what M.E. really is, from the horses mouths as it were.

I'd like to repeat that call!

If you would like to have your M.E. story, or your day in the life story made public and for it to aid public awareness of M.E. I am very happy to help you do so. Parents of children with M.E. may of course also submit their child's story, as told by them.

Stories from the more severely affected will be given priority as these stories are so rarely seen elsewhere, but any story which highlights any of the harsh realities of M.E. (economic, social, family etc.) is also very welcome; there are many different ways of being severely affected by M.E. unfortunately.

You might like to include things like; how you have been treated by the medical profession, what the reaction to friends and family has been, what your real symptoms are (and how they are so much worse than mere 'fatigue'), how treatments such as CBT and GET have affected your condition (if you've been forced to undergo them) and just generally what living with M.E. is like for you and your family on a daily basis etc.

Names can of course be changed on publication if you have a need for anonymity.

I can also help to a certain extent, if you have need of it, with editing and spellchecking.

If you'd like to submit your own M.E. story - or tell your child's M.E. story - to possibly be featured on this page in the future (or if you have any questions) please email me - I look forward to hearing from you!
