1 in 200 humans on earth are missing from their own lives due to ME. ME is a devastating physical illness that makes rubble of the lives of patients and families. We’ve known it’s real for decades. But society still acts like it’s not real. This is a historic injustice. #MEAwarenessDay

Hating my illness just that little bit extra this evening - my oldest friend got in touch today to say her dad has died but I’m in a crash so I’m not able to go to the funeral or meet up with her for a chat/support. I hope I recover in time to catch up with her before she heads back down south 😔
