Everything I have ever learned and been has been turned upside down by #cfs #Fibromyalgia and I am just expected to understand and be accepting of being ill with no medication / treatment. I miss life, family, friends, people, fun, #chronicillness I can’t even rely on myself.

3am wake up, went for a walk in the rain at 4am, sleep at 6am, up at 8am breakfast with the fam and back to bed at 1pm. life on the M.E road, hoping to wash the car next lol 😂 #cfslife #legpainday #MECFS

Everyday I wake up and wonder what my body is going to throw at me. Everyday I aim to work with & overcome my symptoms, I do accept my illness but I also hate loosing though lol #cfswarrior #cfs #MECFS #cfslife #PositiveVibes #ihatethis #norest #FamilyFirst

What has happened to my body #CFS #cfsme has destroyed me I couldn’t even manage 30mins looking after the kids this morning before falling asleep on the stairs, this lockdown I am really struggling #mentalhealth #chronicallyill #CovidUK

Day 7 - no matter how healthy I have tried to be exhaustion has kept up at a similar pace and got worse today. Rest doesn’t help, day off tomorrow defo feet up and chocolate time #cfsdiary #cfsjourney #cfslife #chronicfatigue #cfsme #MECFS #Fibromyalgia

[Chris @cfsandmee]

Day 3 - fatigue has caught up with me today so plenty of rest, missed time with the family but got some inbetween the 🛌 rest #cfs #cfsme #cfsdiary #cfsrestday #slowlyslowly

[Chris @cfsandmee]

Day 2 - managed work and home for tea now for a bit of family time. Not a bad day at all, I will take that into the weekend apart from the non stop dreary rain 🌧 #cfsdiary #cfsme #cfsjourney #familytime #greyskies #PositiveVibes 😀

[Chris @cfsandmee]

End of day 1 - managed work and a walk with the little lady and a sleep thrown inbetween. See how the small amount of exercise impacts tomorrow but I do love being outside even if it is raining. #cfsdiary #cfsme #littlehelper #babygirl

[Chris @cfsandmee]

Day 1 - late for work as a very poor nights sleep luckily I can work from home. Diet is horrendous at the mo so tried 25 press ups in an attempt to do some exercise. Wait & see if that impacts later, usually it’s using my legs that destroys me so🤞#cfslife #cfsdiary #cfsjourney
