Only 1 in 100,000 people have my brain condition, why did it have to be me that got it? :( I’m convinced the answer to that rhetorical question is that it was because I am strong enough to be able to handle it and do something useful with it by raising awareness… but some days I’d simply rather just NOT, yknow?
Maybe I’ll make a video about it one day so you guys can learn a little about what I go through, NOT for pity but in case it affects anyone you know, would that be helpful?
Next month there is rare disease day, maybe for then!

I was nervous about sharing my illness and what lead me to create About M.E. especially to my professional network. The support has been amazing. I've had to restart my life again but I am so grateful to where I am now.
