Tired of Being Tired
Whilst I would never suggest my syndrome is a ‘woman’s issue’ (especially with a dad that has M.E.) this little fact here:
“Chronic fatigue syndrome is four times more likely to affect women than men”
really makes me want to say a lot of stuff about disrespect for the fatigue we live with, for being told ‘oh it’s that time of the month!’, for being treated by a lot of medical professionals as though we were Victorian women suffering from ‘nerves’. I don’t talk a lot of my illness- it is as much a part of me as my blue eyes, but this article is worth reading. Especially for douchebags who still insist it is a mental illness.
